The Human Brain Project has an ethical responsibility to ensure the research resulting from the project is both responsible and in line with societal values. History shows that scientific developments and new technologies have proved useful in other and very different ways than first intended.

HBP wants to explore the opinions, values and concerns of citizens across Europe, regarding the potential risk of HPB research on neuroscience, brain inspired computing, and robotics being applied for political, security, intelligence or military purposes.

Involving citizens in the discussion will be of great importance and benefit to the Human Brain Project, providing valuable input and perspectives to scientists and decision makers.

Armed with a better understanding of citizens’ perspectives, the Human Brain Project can communicate better and develop better research, which takes citizen’s views, concerns and desires into account.

The consultations are organised and coordinated by the Danish Board of Technology Foundation.
