Dr. Nomy Dickman Participates in AVaKE Project

Dr. Nomy Dickman, head of the unit for Development and Evaluation of Education at the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine, and member of  AVaKE, recently served as a counselor for the Erasmus+-project of the European Union on “Changing Landscapes in the Health and Life Sci­ences: Ethical Challenges of Big Data” (DATAETHICS). AVaKE, the Association for Values and Knowledge Education, is an associate partner of the project which was coordinated by the Uni­versity Medical Center Göttingen, University of Göttingen.

This transnational project aims at updating the conceptual and ethical considerations that arise from Biomedical Big Data (BBD) collection and use. The project will expedite cooperation between EU countries to identify best practices for BBD. Pparticipants were from nine European universities and medical faculties from Ireland, Spain, UK, Sweden, NL, France, Germany, Austria and Hungary.

Prof. Jean-Luc Patry of the University of Salzburg writes: "On behalf of AVaKE, the Association for Values and Knowledge Education (AVaKE), I wish to thank you for your contribution in the virtual exercise of the DATAETHICS Erasmus+ project (which was conceived by AVaKE) and particularly for the feedback to the students that you provided in the Academic panel (Zoom conference on March 3, 2021)."

Dr. Dickman promotes and supervises teaching with VaKE, supervises research on VaKE, initiates VaKE teaching and research programs and promotes VaKE in Israel and worldwide.
