The Ethics & Public Policy Panel (EP3), led by the EPP Director and Co-lead, serves a critical function for the ERC and the EPP pillar. It is comprised of 13 distinguished experts chosen by the EPP Director on ethics, law, and analysis of emerging technologies. The EP3 meets three times a year, with consultation on other occasions as needed, to advance the work of the EPP pillar, and 3 additional times per year to support the NetEthics grant, a NSF-funded project associated with EPP (contact PI is Susan Wolf, the EPP Director).
ATP-Bio engages with members of the Ethics & Public Policy Panel (EP3) through three EP3 meetings each year devoted to EPP, three additional EP3 meetings devoted to NetEthics, the Annual Meeting, joint publications, and targeted consultations. In addition, our EP3 member from the Museum of Science Boston (MOS) is working with ATP-Bio to develop joint content. Overarching goals are:
analyze the ethics and policy challenges raised by ATP-Bio research, technology development, and application;
guide ATP-Bio research and development to manage risk and secure societal benefit; and
generate consensus guidance plus publications on cutting-edge issues in governance of ATP-Bio’s emerging technologies.
