Bradley Forum, Hawke Building, Level 5, UniSA City West Campus
Jointly presented by the Ethics Centre of South Australia, the Ian Wark Research Institute and the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre.
Towards the end of 2007 Professor John Weckert, Charles Sturt University, was appointed a joint Research Fellow in Ethics by the Ethics Centre and the Ian Wark Research Institute. Professor Weckert conducted interviews with key Wark researchers and observed their research processes in action. A report detailing his appraisal of the ethics of the Wark's research procedures vis-a-vis Adelaide society is now ready for release.
This seminar, Ethics and Nanotechnology at the Interface, will give the opportunity, first of all, for two Wark scientists to speak about some of the cutting-edge research presently being conducted in their Institute and then Professor Weckert will deliver his Report.
This seminar will give a rare insight into the practice of international scientific research as well as a candid ethical evaluation of what is taking place when research confronts the public.
