Conference ‘Moral Responsibility: Neuroscience, Organization & Engineering’
Conference, August 24 - 27, 2009, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands
Who is responsible, for which outcomes and under what circumstances? What are our responsibilities and to whom are they owed? Who are responsible agents, and to which spheres of activity does their responsible agency extend? Who should take responsibility, for what and how? This conference will address these and similar traditional philosophical questions about responsibility, with a special focus on the following theme areas: (a) responsibility in neuroscience and the law, (b) collective and individual responsibility, and (c) responsibility in science and engineering.

Summer school ‘Responsibility & Engineers of the Future’
IDEA-League Summer School, August 20-22, 2009, TU Delft, The Netherlands
In August 2009 the philosophy department of TU Delft organized a summer school for PhD students in engineering from the IDEA League, a network of five leading European universities of technology and science. In an intensive 3-day program, PhD students were introduced to the ethics of technology and could develop their skills of ethical reasoning. Special attention was paid to the issue of responsibility. Participants in the summer school could participate for free to the conference on this topic that was organized in Delft subsequently.
Within the activities of 3TU Center for Ethics and Technology, the Department of Philosphy of Delft University will repeat the succesful experience of the Summer School next year. More information regarding the next summer school will follow on this website. For questions and suggestions regarding this initiative, please contact Behnam Taebi
