It seeks to clarify questions of fact and value of pressing concern in scientific research; to enhance the dialogue between academic, corporate, and public interest stakeholders; to increase the synergies of public-private cooperation in areas of emerging technologies where there are significant ethical concerns; and to sustain in Delaware a unique center of national excellence to serve the public good.
American Philosophical Association (APA) Its central office located at the University of Delaware, the American Philosophical Association promotes the discipline and profession of philosophy, both within the academy and in the public arena.
