> _/*Research lies within the

> issues arising from new and emerging technologies. Studying current
> governance arrangements in actual ICT projects (and in particular in
> Ambient Intelligence project) will help to produce a better understanding
> of the efficiency and limits of current ethics governance. This will be
> applied to the relevant ethical issues identified which will lead to a
> recommendation of successful governance arrangements that will address
> ethical issues in emerging ICTs before or as they arise. The
> recommendations for individual issues will be used to develop general
> policy recommendations.
