Synergies

TechEthos does not act alone in addressing ethical challenges related to emerging technologies.

Cluster of related projects

TechEthos built a cluster of 15+ EU-funded projects all working in the field of Research Ethics and/or emerging technologies. The cluster met regularly starting in February 2022 to discuss the following objectives:

exchange

Exchange experiences and knowledge

future

Act in synergy for activities and events

Policy Papers

Align future plans

We cooperate with:

assistance

assistance (2019-2022)

The main purpose of ASSISTANCE project is twofold: to help and protect different kind of first responders’ (FR) organizations that work together during the mitigation of large disasters (natural or man-made) and to enhance their capabilities and skills for facing complex situations related to different types of incidents.
