EUROPEAN ETHICS NETWORK EUROPEAN ETHICS NETWORK
 

The EEN endeavours to address fundamental ethical questions and reflections via conferences, dialogue, seminars, publications lectures and research. Thes multi-dimensional initiatives in ethics education will culminate in a European Ethics summit on The Human Project after Humanism, which will take place in Strasbourg in September 2002 with the participation of all the European ethics societies, associated professional organisations and many European institutions.

CORE MATERIALS PROJECT
"The ethics of responsibility must become an integral part of basic education and the training of researchers"
(White Paper on Teaching and Learning: Toward the Learning Society)

The core materials project was initiated in 1997 aiming at the development of basic texts and pedagogical materials for academics engaged in the teaching of ethics. This has resulted in very successful collaborations among ethicists who have been cooperating on themes such as general professional ethics, business ethics, engineering ethics, bioethics, media ethics and environmental ethics. The work of these ethics teams has resulted in the production of books which offer fundamental educational frameworks and background information which allow profesoors and teachers to improve their courses and to adapt them to local situations.

EUROPE IN SEARCH OF SOUL
"The greatest asset of any nation is the spirit of its people and the greatest danger that can menace it is the breakdown of that spirit"

Ultimately the Network is a shared adventure in rediscovering the soul of Europe in the midst of technological, scientific and economic globalisation.
