In the 12 years that ETHICOMP has been in existence it has grown a vibrant
international academic community concerned with the ethical and social
dimensions of information and communication technologies. One of the most
important aspects of this growth has been the number of doctoral students
studying in this area. It is from this part of our community that our
academic leaders of the future will emerge. To support their development a
new initiative, ETHICOMP Doctoral Consortium is to be launched 13-14
September 2007 at the Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility, De
Montfort University, Leicester, UK.
Consortium Directors
Dr Penny Duquenoy, UK, Assoc Prof Nancy Pouloudi, Greece and Dr Bernd
Stahl, UK
Outline
The consortium will comprise a series of master classes in which doctoral
students will engage with experienced supervisors in the field to help
them hone their research ideas and review their research strategies.
Keynote addresses on relevant topics will complete the programme.
The cost of attendance will be confirmed but will be kept to a minimum.
There is a limited number of places (probably 20-25) due to the
interactive nature of the consortium. Students at any stage of their
