We propose to enlarge the evaluation to (1) the entire cycles, and (2) to an evaluation that uses different ethical systems. (see for example Sovacool, Burke, Baker, Kotikalapudi, & Wlokas, 2017) We hereby will focus on two technologies: Photovoltaics and nuclear energy provision. We will look at the places where the cycles are prominent (for example: uranium mining in Namibia) and use the ethical systems in these places (African philosophy). Location: Eindhoven University of Technology, Het Eeuwsel 57, 5612 AZ Eindhoven. Start is in IPO building, room 1.18. Afterwards, the workshop takes place in Connector building, room 1.02.
