Welcome to the Responsible Neurotechnologies Symposium, introducing renowned international speakers working in an array of disciplines connected with neurotechnologies development and use.

Policy frameworks currently lag behind the pace of neurotechnological innovation. Some tools provide some guidance to address concerns that arise in clinical and consumer uses – but many questions still remain within the ethical, legal and scientific spheres.

Programme 

9:00 – 9:10 Welcome

9:10 – 10:00 Prof. Michele Giugliano, Università degli Studi di Modena
Topic: Microchips head-to-head: neuroprosthetics and their therapeutic opportunities

About the organisers

By studying stakeholder perspectives and fostering public debate, a current interdisciplinary research group, a Theme, at  Pufendorf IAS aims to guide the responsible development and use of neurotechnologies and contribute to global conversations on their regulation and societal impact.
