Ethical implications of the global use of digitised biomedical and biometric data. Workshop Proceedings

2011 , Menevidis, Z. , Schug, S.H.

In the light of a lack of convergence at the international level at this point in time, the ETHICAL project seeks a first international response to these issues in the development of a Code of Conduct. Indeed, the development and adherence to such a Code is possibly one of the few policy options we could employ and this is why I welcome the outline for such a Code developed in the framework of this project. I want to congratulate all partners with the completion of this project. The project did not want to employ abstract ethics, but instead, worked interdisciplinary, and brought people technical and ethical expertise together. Moreover, the project was exemplary by integrating international partners from the Ukraine, Chile and Malaysia into a consortium which also consisted of various research organisations and SME's from Europe. Thus, the project was not only a success in terms of its outcome, but also in terms of its process. Dr. Dr.phil. René Von Schomberg DG Research European Commission

Promoting international debate on ethical implications of data collection, use and retention for biometric and medical applications

2010 , Menevidis, Z.

Ethical implications of data collection, use and retention affect society both socially and financially. These impacts have been identified and categorised by the ETHICAL Consortium, which also studied the state of the art approaches and skills and analyzed moderated dialogue and consultation results, leading to the development of ethical recommendations for EC policy directives.
