Abstract
This deliverable D3.3 seeks to examine the portability of the tools and patterns
previously elaborated in EGAIS (see D2.4, D3.1) to some other fields than AMI
technologies. First, we introduce the methodological problems of portability in
articulating within our approach the ethics and the governance of scientific and
technical projects. We then scrutinize and provide justification for some projects and
processes taking place in the fields of hazardous activities, of nuclear technologies
and of nanotechnologies. We present the state of the ethical governance in the
European Union in taking into account and interpreting the variety of existing
settings in and out of the FP7 framework. We examine the issue of ethics and
governance in the theory and practice of innovation and design in order to identify
the limits of the Value-sensitive design approach. We examine the same issue as
related to the time dimension and to the foresight in future ethics, especially for
technologies having long term impacts. Finally, we draw conclusions about the
portability of our methodology and indicate directions for further research
