Mission

Our mission is the creation of transformative, impactful, and innovative solutions to tackle urgent issues such as social polarisation, ongoing political violence, attacks on democracy, and the misuse of technologies, especially within post-conflict regions, fragile democracies, and countries experiencing societal division

Our Context

TechEthics is built on a decade of research and development, rooted in INCORE (International Conflict Research Institute) at Ulster University, a leader in PeaceTech. INCORE has launched pilot projects that fuse technology with peacebuilding and pioneering postgraduate teaching in PeaceTech. Team members from Co-operation Ireland developed an Innovation Department focused on integrating technology into peacebuilding and civic education in post-conflict regions. Our core team brings advanced AI and technical expertise, uniquely combining skills in democratic innovation, conflict resolution, dialogue processes, and peacebuilding to craft tailored ethical technology solutions. Together, we leverage over 30 years of global peacebuilding and technological experience within a vast network. Partnering with Ulster University strengthens TechEthics' capacity for program development and ongoing research in this highly-specialised field.
