DATAETHICS is a transnational initiative, which aims at updating the conceptual and ethical considerations that arise from Biomedical Big Data (BBD) collection and use. It was initiated by the Eurolife Consortium as a three-year project, co-funded by the German Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony, the European Commission, and the Franco-German University.

DATAETHICS enables a shared understanding and a common vision on BBD across Europe with actions of cooperation with interdisciplinary expertise and industry.

The e-courses are engaging through the mix spurts of text, audio, webinars, discussion board and hands-on case study exercises and actualize the content to mirror the technological advancements incorporating cultural, legal and social differences.
