EPIS (Council of European

Societies ) held a micro-

conference on professional

ethics in Brussels, on 13th March 2014. The

aim of the meeting was to provide a forum for

members to discuss the position of national

informatics associations on ethics, as well as

how ICT practitioners should address ethical

considerations related to their profession.

Ethics forms a fundamental pillar of any

profession, and ICT is no different. However,

nacionalnih informatickih drustava u vezi

treba da postupaju sa etickim pitanjima koja

su povezana sa njihovom profesijom.

Etika predstavlja osnovu svake pro-

fesije, pa ni IKT nije izuzetak. Meutim,

malo predmeta na osnovnim studijama nudi

module u vezi sa etikom, a da ne spomi-

njemo njeno izucavanje, sto IKT strucnjake

ostavlja nepripremljene; mnogi napreci u

IKT-u dolaze znatno brze nego sto to uspe-
