INSTITUTIONAL ETHICAL CODE But having a code will not solve everything. Even when there is a code, some ethical conflicts may still emerge When there is an ethical conflict: • The answer cannot be only technical or scientific • There is not one good decision, but a greater relevance of one solution over the other • The most relevant solution comes from a deliberation between the various actors involved in the situation © UNIVERSIDADE NOVA DE LISBOA 2018

ETHICAL ISSUES IN THE INSTITUTIONS An “unfinished business” A major role in Academia There’s always space for development © UNIVERSIDADE NOVA DE LISBOA 2018

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT Personal Development – the concept within the institutional context • A deeply context-related concept (Ashmore and Robinson, 2015) • Emerging most of the times from a tension between institutional and personal needs (Orr et al. , 2015) • Obeying to specific conditions: - Alignment with institutional goals and values (Blackwell and Blackmore, 2003) - Validation by top leadership (Senge, 2001) © UNIVERSIDADE NOVA DE LISBOA 2018
