Behind the lecture: Prof. Dr. Andreas Braun is a contributor to the online course: GeoTechE: Geotechnology Ethics

GeotechE: Geotechnology Ethics is a unique course that explores the ethical and social issues with geodata technologies and applications. By participating, you will learn how to raise critical questions throughout the geotechnology lifecycle to address and potentially mitigate those issues.  

Learn from international scholars at the cutting edge of several disciplines, including critical data studies, ethics and geodata technologies. Engage with the material through micro-lectures, interviews, a webinar, and activities such as quizzes, online research tasks and forum discussions. 

Prior knowledge of ethics is unnecessary; you will get a solid foundation in ethical thinking and learn how it’s applied to technologies like satellites, drones, artificial intelligence, smartphones, and more. You will also apply what you’ve learned with case studies based on real-world examples of technologies in use. 

If you want to understand the challenges and issues that come with new and emerging geotechnologies, and take the first steps toward becoming a more responsible practitioner and user of technology, this course is for you.
