After more than 25 years of applied ELSI/ELSA (ELS-X) research in the European Union with the adoption of the 4th framework program by the European Commission, many methodological, conceptual and practical challenges remain.

As public awareness grows regarding the complex impacts of technological innovation, research into ethical, legal, social, and economic aspects/impacts/factors is becoming increasingly important to help anticipate and avoid undesirable consequences. Now firmly embedded in European funding requirements for research and innovation actions, this type of research must clearly define its objectives, practices, and intended audiences.
 
This is exactly where we want to start with this workshop: to stimulate an interdisciplinary discussion about methodological and content-related aspects of ELSI/ELSA/ELSE, fostering collaboration across disciplines to better understand and address the multifaceted nature of these challenges. We also want to raise the profile of the international research scene and contribute to better networking among all those involved in ELSI/ELSA/ELSE-research.
