Theme 6

Management and Ethics

TechOceanS is a complex project that seeks to simultaneously pursue ground-breaking developments across a wide array of technologies while also harmonising these efforts towards a singular overarching goal. For this reason, Theme 6 is dedicated to the coordination of the many tasks being undertaken by the highly multidisciplinary team across the fields of ecology, biology, zoology, microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, biogeochemistry, analytical chemistry, oceanography as well as electrical, electronic, mechanical, microfluidic, optics, communications, machine learning, artificial intelligence software and systems engineering. Theme 6 also has resources dedicated to ensuring that the project is carried out in an ethical and inclusive manner, including consideration of the ethical dimension and potential equal-opportunity barriers in how the resulting technologies are applied across the world.
