1) Anti-bias lunch break

We all have biases. There is nothing wrong with it. Unconscious bias affects everyone. It is important to become aware of own biases. Unconscious bias might lead to discrimination and inequality in some cases when it is not actively managed. This short training will give you the tools that you need. We had already 5 lunch breaks with almost 100 participants in total. We are happy to see that the topic attracts our ENHANCE community. You can visit this low-threshold training during your lunch break. It takes only 60 minutes.The next training sessions will be held on: 2, 13, 21 November 2023. This short training will give you the effective tools that you need. Information and Registration: https://forms.office.com/e/ALyZnDySBJ

4) TUB Online Course: BEC Basic Module - Reflection and Responsibility (6 ECTS)

Attempts to diagnose the present generally appeal to conditions of crisis, precarity and complexity - rapid and coordinated action to meet the challenges of the climate catastrophe, automation, the housing crisis, or transformation of the transportation or healthcare sectors appears critical. These local to planetary scale challenges are not merely problems of technical feasibility but rather raise fundamental normative questions:

How can we implement strategies that ensure emerging technologies do not reproduce oppressive power relations? What contribution can my discipline make to an equitable mobility transformation? What are our values and visions for responsible futures and how should they be developed?

The “BEC Basic Module – Reflection and Responsibility” of the Berlin Ethics Certificate (BEC) lays the foundations for addressing ethical issues both within and beyond one’s own discipline and provides an introduction to current topics and case studies that can be explored in greater depth in further modules of the BEC.

Applications will be accepted until October 24.
