This section presents websites that offer access to educational resources in the field of science and ethics. The websites gathered in this section adress academics as well as non-academic target groups alike.
The subject heading “Training Materials and Programmes” emphasises the heterogeneous character of the resources offered by the databases listed which may comprise study courses, syllabi and materials employed in such courses. Therefore the section is splitted into a chapter on training materials, which denotes materials used in courses and training programmes, and one chapter on training courses, which offers access to information on teaching programmes, study courses and exchange programmes concerned with ethics and science.
Some websites presented in this section directly provide materials developed for education of specific target groups in the field of science and ethics. Please take notice of the fact that ETHICSWEB does only provide access to sites providing learning resources. Please check for terms and conditions of the respective provider for usage or employment of the materials provided.
Resources that provide training and teaching materials as well as syllabi are linked in this section. Learning resourcers for training and teaching are provided in this section and can comprise textbooks or abstracts of specific texts as well work sheets and other materials like audio-visual media.
Resources gathered here adress various target groups and learning environments and are not restricted to academic purposes.
Bibliographic information about those specific Learning Resources might also be also available via the ETHICSWEB literature search. Please check the legal terms of the respective provider to learn more about the copyright status of the provided resources.
Information about specific curricula and courses as well as academic exchange programmes can be found in the respective section Training Programmes and Courses.

This section predominantly provides weblinks to information regarding Training Programmes and Courses which are not necessarly restricted to science and ethics. Although specific courses are available in this field there are hardly respective databases in existence. Information about study courses and training opportunities is often collected on the website of the respective provider, but it seldom is available for a broader public. ETHICSWEB strives to establish a database that willl provide easy access to specific courses providing educational opportunities in the field of science and ethics.
Consequently most offers collected here have a broader scope and are concerned with exchange opportunities in general. More specific databases especially collecting programmes and courses concerned with the field of science and ethics have been included as they have been identified by ETHICSWEB.
Specific Training and Teaching materials which can be deployed in actual courses are collected in the section Training Materials and can also be found with the ETHICSWEB literature search.
