Under the supervision of professor Pierangelo Masarati and with the support of professor Pierluigi Di Lizia, it gives the students an opportunity to understand possible military an security implications of their research, training them to recognize and address potential ethical dilemmas in a controlled environment, through the analysis of technical and legislative aspects of dual-use technologies.
This edition, the third, saw the participation of about 25 students from 10 Ph.D. Programs as diverse as Engineering, Architecture, and Design; a clear sign of the growing sensibility at Politecnico di Milano concerning issues of this kind.
