The EGE advises on all aspects of Commission policies and legislation where ethical, societal and fundamental rights dimensions intersect with the development of science and new technologies.
The newly established group brings together top-tier experts from across Europe and the world. Its members have a far-reaching understanding of current and emerging ethical developments and bring a wealth of experience from academia, ethical and government advisory bodies.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said:
Research and innovation improve people’s lives and the environment they live in. The expertise and wisdom of the 15 newly appointed members of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies will help us to put European values at the heart of the green and digital transition.
The appointments follow the renewal of the EGE’s legal mandate and the publication of the call for applications last year, re-confirming the commitment of the European Commission to embed ethics in EU policies and to further the Union as a community of values. The new makeup of the EGE reflects the broad cross-disciplinary scope of the group and represents a wide range of expertise from the fields of natural and social sciences, the humanities, philosophy, ethics and law.
