Ethics in Higher Education for Better Lives and Societies
Abstract
Within this collaborative endeavour between Globethics and the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná, a distinguished group of twenty-one ethicists and specialists from eight diverse countries convene to deliberate on the intricate ethical dilemmas in higher education. Immersed in a profound exploration, they meticulously examine the internal methodologies and external impacts orchestrated within the academic sphere, placing a keen emphasis on the fundamental principles, varied perceptions, and consequential actions that support these deliberations. Through this comprehensive work, a triad of pivotal themes rises and facilitates sharing best practices globally: ethical governance, the intricacies of cyber ethics — particularly concerning generative artificial intelligence—and the imperative of sustainability in promoting actions and fostering academic contributions for the responsible use of water and mitigation of climate change.
