Jeroen van den Hoven, Professor für Ethics und Technology an der Technischen Universität Delft in den Niederlanden, hielt einen Vortrag mit anschließender Diskussion zu einem Thema, das durch seinen immanenten gesellschaftlichen Charakter, bezugnehmend auf die Verflechtung von technischen Entwicklungen und deren Auswirkungen auf die Gesellschaft, einen besonderen Stellenwert an einer technischen Universität innehat: Ethik.
