‍Earlier this month we hosted our CTMF ECR Showcase, bringing together members of our vibrant research community to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our early career researchers!

AI companies influence policy and regulation using similar techniques to Big Tobacco, Big Pharma and Big Oil, according to a new study by colleagues at University of Edinburgh, Trinity College Dublin, TU Delft and Carnegie Mellon University.

Professor Shannon Vallor has been elected as RSE Fellow as part of the 2026 cohort made up of 43 individuals (15 based at The University of Edinburgh!) deemed excellent in their field.

Applications are open for two postdoctoral research associates in the philosophy of science and the philosophy of machine learning in the School of Philosophy, Psychology, and Language Sciences, associated with the CTMF.

In 2024, we marked 5 years since the launch of the Centre for Technomoral Futures! It’s been an incredible journey - from the early days with five PhD researchers, to a sudden acceleration of new cohorts, staff, disciplines, affiliates, visiting scholars, a Master’s programme, and an explosion of groundbreaking research.
