Science and Trust – Call for case studies
The IDEA CETL at the University of Leeds is producing a series of case studies exploring ethical issues in science and engineering. This work is being supported by the Science and Trust action group of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, and will be used in a number of different contexts. The aim is to illustrate to the public the difficult ethical decisions sometimes faced by scientists and engineers, in whatever context (academic, industrial, etc.) they are working.
