Think Tank “Digital Technology, Ecology, and Sustainability” 

On August 30th, the EUt+ Ideas Institute Think Tank will be holding an expert panel on Technology, Ecology, and Sustainability. The event will be hosted by Techical University of Sofia, Bulgaria, and will coincide with the multiplier event of sister project EthiCo, which focuses on ethics and ecology in technological education. This expert panel will bring together academics and policymakers to discuss the challenges and opportunities of technologies in the context of ecology and sustainability. Panellists will bring their multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary backgrounds to the broad discussion of what it means to be human in the context of complex socio-technical systems (biological and artificial systems) and how one can care for oneself, the other and the planet. Panellists will share their perspectives on what a European response is to responsible and ethical innovation that supports the flourishing of the planet and all its human and animal inhabitants, and what kinds of policy and technological responses are necessary to help achieve such a state of affairs.
