UNESCO Bangkok Consultation Workshop on Codes of Ethics in Engineering, Science and Technology
Workshop Outcomes

The participants agreed that:

• There are a range of codes or guidelines in different associations and in different countries relating to engineering, science and technology, and there are some common elements. These can provide useful guidance to researchers, professionals, scientists and engineers, but these are not sufficient to ensure good conduct. Ethics education is even more important to ensure professional responsibility.

• To build capacity in the research community, any guidelines/codes should highlight education on ethics and professional responsibility across all ages, in many different learning environments, and at all stages of career development.

• For codes of conduct to be effective, the guideline/code should provide options for monitoring and sanctions.

• A regional or global code of conduct would be useful to address to governments, institutions, professional associations and universities, and scientists, and the participants agreed that it would be useful for UNESCO to explore common elements and a framework for such a code.
