PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A BE CRC PARTICIPANTS ONLY EVENT AND WILL NOT BE RECORDED FOR DISTRIBUTION
The Institute for Ethics, Governance & Law—is undertaking a General CRC Research Project on ‘Ethics, values and social licence in the Blue Economy’ to produce a world-first account of the ethical values at stake in the Blue Economy.
The topic of the Roundtable is ‘What are the key ethical values relevant to the Blue Economy, and what are the opportunities, challenges and dilemmas they present?’
While we are keen to share our research thinking with other CRC members, a key purpose of this event is to hear about what others are doing in this space, and the ways that our future outputs could be shaped so they will be practically accessible and useful to interested CRC members.
We look forward to your participation.
