EELISA Community “Ethics, Social Commitment and Entrepreneurship”: Artificial Intelligence, Ethics, and Human Rights
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is led by the unrelenting advance of artificial intelligence (AI) in almost all walks of public and private life. Technology developers, decision-makers, and stakeholders should all be aware of the opportunities and risks of the implementation of AI and analyze the situation from the viewpoint of human rights. Design ethics advocates the adoption of ethical
principles throughout all the stages of technology design, development, and implementation. Accessibility is one example where ethics, human rights, and AI can play a key role in building a society that leaves no one behind. This course combines theory and practice, providing specific tools for analyzing AI digital systems design, development, and implementation ethics.

EELISA Community “Green Planet”: Biomolecular analysis of plant biodiversity: the adaptive solution of plants to climate change
The negative consequences of a changing climate on the environment, human safety and health have been evident for years. Plants depend on environmental conditions, and their ability to adapt is guided by their genetic material. The development of “omic” technologies has allowed progress in the knowledge of genetic functions and the effect of the environment on the genes responsible for adaptive responses. The objective of this course is to teach the application of molecular biology tools to the study of biodiversity of crops of agronomic interest.
