The event, organized by the European University of Technology Think Tank, featured distinguished panelists from Rīgas Tehniskā universitāte (Riga Technical University) and Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin). This discussion continued a series focusing on European values, specifically shedding light on the integration of ethical technologies in higher education and the manifestation of these values in research and innovation processes.

The panelists provided insightful perspectives on how European values like integrity, transparency, and social responsibility are theoretical concepts and practical guides in guiding technological advancements in academia. They emphasized the importance of embedding ethical considerations in research methodologies and innovation strategies to ensure that technological progress aligns with societal needs and ethical standards. The discussion also highlighted successful case studies from both universities, demonstrating how these principles are being effectively implemented in their institutions.
