A summer edition of the TechEthos newsletter

A warm welcome, dear reader

If you're receiving our news for the first time, TechEthos is a team of ten scientific partners and six science engagement organisations working together on the ethics of new and emerging technologies.


Our overall goal is to produce ethics guidelines that enable the inclusion of ethical and societal values in the earliest phases of technology design and development. This "ethics by design" approach will not only provide value for researchers and innovators, but also for related stakeholders such as research funding bodies, research ethics committees, and the future users of our three technology families: Climate Engineering, Neurotechnologies and Digital Extended Reality.


Now halfway through the project, we are delighted to announce the publication of three sets of key findings that enhance our understanding of the implications of these three technology families and lay the foundation of our future work.


Read on to discover more about the results of our ethical, legal and media analyses, get a glimpse of the start of our societal engagement activities and discover our cluster of 16 like-minded projects working with us on Research Ethics.


As usual, we also share materials and resources that we think you may find useful as members of the TechEthos community. Do pass on this newsletter to those who you think would like to join this growing community of ethics-driven, emerging technology enthusiasts.


We look forward to having you with us on the journey ahead,

The TechEthos Team

"When ethics as soft law is not embedded within institutional frameworks, it becomes indeed 'toothless'. But it can be very valuable when embedded in institutions with mechanisms to ensure compliance."
