AIM OF THE PROJECT
Developing a common platform for the
consolidation and advancement of ethical
assessment in research and innovation.
Project aims to develop a framework of ethical
principles and practical approaches so as to
strenghten shared understandings among
actors involved in the design and
implementation of research ethics.
ETHICS IN R&I
• Ethical assesment refers to the identification
and evaluation of ethical issues in R&I
• The SATORI project brings together two existing
traditions in ethics: research ethics, which is the
ethical reflection on scientific practice, and
technology ethics, which is the ethical study of
the technology, engineering and innovation
"Right now the situation is that ethical
assessment of research and innovation is
increasingly important because there are
major societal consequences with R&I,
whether it's for human rights, whether
it's for environment, justice, wellbeing or
privacy"
Dr Philip Brey
professor at the University of Twente
ETHICAL ASSESSMENT
• to identify and evaluate ethical issues and
problems in scientific research and innovation
practices
• to make recommendations and policy
proposals to make R&I more ethical and
responsible
• covers a wide range of ethical issues
(scientific integrity, fraud and misconduct, the
rights of human subjects in research, use of
animals, responsible product design,
protection of privacy and civil rights…)
