The 5th edition of the ERCIM Forum Beyond Compliance on Research Ethics in the Digital Age will take place on 29–30 October 2026 in Porto, Portugal, hosted by INESC TEC.
The forum provides a space for researchers and practitioners to discuss ethical challenges arising from digital technologies in real-world research settings. This year's programme will address research involving young publics, AI companions, limitations of explainable AI (XAI), AI in healthcare, and digital ethics assessment procedures.
Participation is free of charge. The event will be co-located with the ERCIM Fall Meeting, an AIOLIA training workshop, and the ECSS Conference of Informatics Europe.
The forum can only be attended in person; no online participation or live streaming will be available. However, recordings of most talks and event summaries will be published online after the event.
The forum is organised by the ERCIM Working Group on Digital Ethics, which welcomes new members and contributors.
We look forward to welcoming you to Porto.
Emma Beauxis-Aussalet and Laurynas Adomaitis, on behalf of the Organising CommitteeCommittee.
