Lezing : Ethiek bij technologische risico’s
Start: 18:30u. Locatie: YourInterimProfessionals, Laan van Vredenoord 29, Rijswijk
Technologische risico’s brengen ethische vragen met zich mee. Risicovolle technologische projecten kunnen het welzijn van anderen aantasten. Wanneer is het gerechtvaardigd om anderen aan gevaren bloot te stellen? En hoe zouden we moeten beoordelen of een risico moreel aanvaardbaar is of niet? Voorbeelden van technologische risico’s die aanleiding geven tot verhitte en emotionele debatten zijn klonen, GM-voedsel en nucleaire energie.

Workshop: Research Funding and the Good Life
March 17 and 18, 2009, University of Twente
This workshop will examine differences between US and EU/Dutch ways of assessing the societal relevance of broader impacts of science and technology. During this workshop we hope to come to a constructive exchange between Dutch and American philosophers and representatives of the different funding institutions about (1) how ‘societal relevance’ or ‘broader impacts’ are to be understood ethically and in what way good life ethics is helpful for this understanding and (2) what role a funding institution could have in realizing a reflective scientific practice, which deals responsively with the impacts of future technologies on human (social) life.
