James From: CS academics interested in the work and activities of HE Academy-ICS [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Karen Fraser Sent: 23 September 2008 16:39 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: "Green IT: challenge or opportunity in Professional and Ethical issues?" Dear Colleagues The British Computer Society Ethics Forum and the Higher Education Academy Subject Centre are holding a one day workshop on; "Green IT: challenge or opportunity in Professional and Ethical issues?" 14th November 2008, 9.30 - 4.30 To be held at The British Computer Society, Davidson Building, Southampton Street, London. Experts representing various areas of impact will be invited to give presentations during the morning to stimulate thought and provide the foundation for the working sessions to be held in the afternoon. The experts will provide the participants with an overview of a particular aspect of the IT domain. Their presentation will give guidance to the afternoon discussion groups which will specifically address key issues and modes of delivery to students. The focus of the sessions in the afternoon will be to elicit the core content with regard to the ethical, social, legal and professional issues. It is anticipated that speakers will be available to give input to the afternoon discussions. Groups in the working sessions will report back to a plenary session at the end of the day, and their conclusions together with a summary of the presentations will later form the basis of a published report.
