American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN) is honored to have signed a MOU with the Center for Ethics of Science and Technology and has convened a series of regular bioethics workshops together, twice a year. The Center for Ethics of Science and Technology is a research unit at Faculty of Arts at Chulalongkorn University. It is also a virtual interdisciplinary center where faculty collaborate, not only within Chulalongkorn University, but with other universities and research institutes worldwide. AUSN fellows also conduct research at the Center
Because almost all the changes that are taking place in the world we live in today are due to advances in science, technology and biotechnology, The Center for Ethics of Science and Technology plays an important role for the intelligent and meaningful exploration and discussion of pertinent issues which relate to such advances and affect our everyday lives – accordingly, AUSN is quite proud to be affiliated with such a prestigious Center. Cooperative AUSN Conferences are held often.
The Center investigates and explores the digital divide between those who enjoy the benefits brought about by the technology, and those who are left behind; how the privacy of citizens are going to be protected when every corner of reality has become an item in the manipulable and calculable "information reality." Similarly, the Center explores pertinent and relevant areas of biotechnology. The objectives of the Center include: to conduct research on various aspects of ethics of science and technology, most notably those related to information technology, nanotechnology and biotechnology, as well as the relation between science and society; to act as a focal point on the attempts to understand how science and technology interact with society and culture; and to disseminate knowledge and perform outreaching programs to be general public. AUSN holds Intensive Training courses here annually.
Chulalongkorn University is the oldest university under the Thai modern educational system, founded in 1917 and named after King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). It is well-recognized as one of the best universities in Thailand and Southeast Asia; it consists of approximately nineteen Faculties and Institutes. The Diplomas of Chulalongkorn University are delivered at graduation by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of the Royal Family.
Professor Soraj Hongladarom is Director of the Center for Ethics of Science and Technology, and he is also an AUSN Visiting Professor of Science and Technology and Philosophy.
