Minimum Ethical Standards in ICTD

#ictdethics

This is an invitation to co-formulate a set of minimal ethical standards in ICTD

A workshop at the ICTD 2016 conference will kick-start the effort.

In the workshop we will:

  • Share stories and concerns that highlight ethical issues in ICTD research
  • Review and collate material from existing ethical standards in related research areas to develop a starting point for debate
  • Generate an initial thematic guide that can form the basis for future drafting
  • Create a concrete action plan for drafting and review of these standards

After the workshop, the outputs will be shared with the conference attendees, and on-line at this site to invite feedback, commentary and reaction.

We plan to use this site as a space for discussion and development with a view to collaboratively agreeing a clear statement of minimal standards to share with the wider ICTD community in 2017.

One thought on “Minimum Ethical Standards in ICTD”

  1. Thanks Andy for sharing the ICTD Ethics initiative. That yo be a feelow panelist on the IEEE SSIT panel on Disruptive Technology, Ethics and Global Development. Even remotely in India is was great to have you involved. I will see what SSIT Australia might be able to contribute to the standards. I’ve been away from ICTD for a few years being back in Australia. I did present my Masters research at ICTD Doha so great to hear latest developments.
