Ethics Workshop

The workshop, chaired by Covadonga Rodrigo (UNED, Spain), Chair of the Ethics Working Group, will be held on Wednesday afternoon, 29 October.

Ethics provides a critical lens to identify issues and challenges related to information and technology. This session will focus on the Societal Impact of Information and Technology Use, as well as their interaction with human beings. We will address the responsible development and application of information systems, encompassing areas such as privacy, security, access, and intellectual property, and motivating best practices across the field.

Welcoming all ECSS participants, the session will present a panel discussion and an interactive activity designed to address ethics from the WG members' perspective, as well as from leaders across our community.
