22.10.2020 - Forschungsethik: Verantwortungsvolle Forschung und Innovation. Ein Workshop aus dem Programm für neuberufene Professor*innen
22.10.2020 von 09:00 bis 16:30
Dr. Katharina Abermeth, Karin Kunde, Prof. Dr. Konrad Ott, Linda Piálek
Zielgruppe
Neuberufene; Hochschulpersonal aus Wissenschaft und Lehre
Kursbeschreibung
Forscherinnen und Forscher sind mehr denn je gefordert, den gesellschaftlichen Kontext ihrer Forschungsprojekte zu berücksichtigen und diesen in ihren Drittmittelanträgen zu erläutern. Die Europäische Union fasst diesen Ansatz, die Distanz zwischen Gesellschaft und Wissenschaft zu verringern, unter dem Namen „Responsible Research & Innovation“ zusammen. EU Anträge, die diesen Themenkomplex nicht berücksichtigen, werden zukünftig nicht mehr bewilligt werden. Ethik in der Forschung generell ist auch bei nationalen und anderen ausländischen Förderern zunehmend ein relevantes Thema, um die Qualität der Forschung sicher zu stellen.
Auch der CAU ist es ein Anliegen, ihre Forschenden dabei zu unterstützen, ihr Bewusstsein für Responsible Research & Innovation zu stärken. Es werden Möglichkeiten aufzeigt, den Ansatz in ihrer eigenen Forschung und Lehre zu verankern. Der Workshop findet in deutscher Sprache sowie z.T. unter Verwendung von englischen Kursmaterialien des EU-Projektes HEIRRI statt.
Folgende Fragestellungen werden im Workshop behandelt:
- Was ist interne- und externe Forschungsethik?
- Was bedeutet responsible research & innovation?
- Welche Implikationen ergeben sich konkret für mein Fach sowie meine Forschungsprojekte- und vorhaben?
Organisatorisches
- Datum und Uhrzeit: 22.10.2020, 09:00 - 16:30 Uhr
- Ort: Der Raum wird 10 Tage vor Kursbeginn per E-Mail bekannt gegeben
- Modulanrechnung Zertifikate F5, H4 (siehe Modulübersicht)
- Referent*in: Prof. Dr. Konrad Ott, Gustav-Radbruch-Netzwerk
- Kursnummer: N202004
