About the ETICA project

The ETICA project was a research project on "Ethical Issues of Emerging ICT Applications" funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme. It ran from April 2009 to May 2011. ETICA’s main objective was to identify ethical issues of emerging technologies and their potential application areas in order to analyse and evaluate ethical issues arising from these. On this basis, ETICA has developed  recommendations on how to engage with the ethics of emerging ICT in a proactive and acceptable manner.
