Why an Expert Group on Global Governance of Science?
• EU‘s Framework Programme for Research is now internatonal: inclusion of international partners, in fact and further encouraged
• Science is a driving force of globalisation
• Rise of emerging States in the world economy and science
• EU is a global actor on normative issues (human rights and democratisation)
Why an Expert Group on Global Governance of Science?
• Specific challenges for the global aspects of an European Research Area:
- scientific misconduct, scientific integrity
- processes of divergence-convergence of ethical standards between regions-countries, possible science-technology divides
- nontransparent forms of mandated science at the global level
Why an Expert Group on Global Governance of Science?
• Specific Governance challenges:
-decreasing capabilities of Nation States to govern science, especially when it crosses borders
-increasing role of non-governmental organisations and industry in setting standards
Approach of the Expert Group on Global Governance of Science?
• Expert Group`s approach driven by a vision of global governance based on:
- European established principles of good governance
- Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union
Possible next steps
• Research on dynamics between regions on promoting particular ethical standards
• Research on models for global governance of science
• Ethical requirements for participating in international collaborative research projects
• International dialogue on particular issues: Nanotechnology, security-technologies
