Goals and Nature of the Activities Sample Clauses

Goals and Nature of the Activities. WP12.1 (King’s College London) aims to evaluate the potential social, ethical, legal, and economic consequences for Europe of new knowledge and technologies produced from the work of the HBP. In order to do this, it established the HBP Foresight Lab (T12. 1.1) which conducts systematic foresight exercises to identify and evaluate these potential impacts. In the Ramp-Up Phase, the Foresight Lab focussed on the three major themes of the HBP, delivering a Foresight Report on Future Medicine (D12. 1.1) a Foresight Report on Future Neuroscience (D12. 1.2) and a Foresight Report on Future Computing/Robotics (D12.1.3).

Goals and Nature of the Activities. WP12.2 examines the philosophical and conceptual bases and implications of HBP research, and the ethical and epistemological issues raised by HBP research. During the Ramp-Up Phase, WP 12.2’s main focus was on how brain simulation can help provide a unified and multilevel understanding of the human brain and how this understanding might give us insights into the human mind and consciousness. The task of WP12.2 is the identification, articulation, analysis, and critical assessment of relevant conceptual issues. Many of the practical ethical issues raised by the HBP and its goals are related to those of more general philosophical significance — concepts such as simulation, consciousness, human nature and identity, and problems in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and moral philosophy. WP12.2’s scholarship centres on these theoretical issues. It is crucial to unveil them, both to fully capture the ethical and social implications of the HBP, and to properly address and manage them in the future. This research provides not only a conceptual analysis of implications of having a unified knowledge of the brain, but also a conceptual and ethical analysis of human brain simulation in the HBP, its limits, aspirations and implications for our understanding of consciousness and the human mind.
Goals and Nature of the Activities is divided into three Tasks, each corresponding to a different kind of public and level of dialogue.
Goals and Nature of the Activities. This goal of this Work Package is to support HBP decision-making on issues with significant social and/or ethical implications and to ensure that the Project fully complies with European and national legal and regulatory requirements. As originally conceived, the Governance and Regulatory activities were to be conducted by carrying out the following tasks: • Establishment and supporting the regular operation HBP’s Ethics, Legal and Social Aspects Committee (XXXX) and Research Ethics Committee (REC). • Maintaining an ethics data registry • Maintaining an information and interactive website on ethics procedures to support research ethics approval processes • Maintain an agile responsiveness and alertness to potential, unexpected ethical, legal and social issues that may arise during the lifetime of the Project • Communicating the official Project position on specific issues in research ethics • Coordinating the HBP's participation in planned ethical reviews The XXXX was to support HBP management on issues of policy and strategy whereas the REC was to support local research sites on regulatory issues and compliance. The committees were to operate by forming ad hoc groups to discuss specific issues as needed. Review by the EC (Ares(2015)927096 - 03/03/2015) required that the ethics and compliance efforts be systematically handled and be more profound in terms of the methodologies and communication tools, with the goal of strengthening the ethical and legal compliance in the Project. A merger between WP12.4 and WP12.5 to create a new organizational body: Ethics Management provided the necessary resources. The goals of ethics management evolved from those for WP12.5. They are: • Development of the principles and implementation of Ethics Management − The principles of ethics management will be continually reviewed and updated as a result of feedback from the EAB, SP12 Ethics and Society research as well as close collaboration between Ethics Management and the various other organisational structures of the HBP, as well as the Board of Directors and its successors. − A key component of Ethics Management is the creation and maintenance of the HBP Ethics Map. This is the list and graphical representation of the various ethical and social issues that the HBP faces. The Ethics Map is populated through PORE and links with various other aspects of Ethics Management (notably HBP Ethics Registry and Ethical Issue Action Plans) as well as the broader Society and Ethics Subp...
