Abstract

The paper is organised in the following manner. In the next paragraph, followed by the short introduction above, we present our approach to ethics work; this covers both the actual research and development processes but also encompass the solution(s) to be created during those processes. Next, we present a methodology aiming to identify various ethical, legal and societal aspects of technology projects aiming to produce innovations for the market. Finally, in the last paragraph, we briefly discuss the operationalisation of the identified aspects, both as guidelines for technology and organisational arrangements but also as tangible ethical requirements
