PRESCIENT is a three-year research project funded by the European Commission under its Seventh Framework Programme. The Project is part of the Science in Society activies of DG Research.
PRESCIENT aims to provide an early identification of privacy and ethical issues arising from emerging technologies and their relevance for EC policy. It will contribute to the quality of research in the field of ethics, by distinguishing between privacy and data protection and analysing the ethical, legal and socio-economic conceptualisations of each.
