Tech with a conscience

From the very beginning, our 'tech with a conscience' ethos has guided us in all that we do. It's a key component in our teaching and learning practices, administrative processes, and innovative research projects. As we develop future tech breakthroughs, we will ensure their ethical and equitable applications.Dr. Steven Murphy, President and Vice-Chancellor.

Our conscience—the inherent ability to discern right from wrong, justice from injustice and good from evil—makes us human.

Technology is a tool imagined by humanity to uplift society and our planet. When technology is combined with our conscience and a shared commitment to improve the world, it can become a driving force for positive change.

Ontario Tech University embodies this 'tech with a conscience' ethos, shaping the future by using technology built with human values at its core to enhance lives and communities. We believe that technology is only as ethical as the humans guiding it. While we are a young institution, we are a powerhouse of experience and have a proven track record of success. We have become a hub for groundbreaking research with real-world applications, while also challenging the next generation of leaders to embed an ethical mindset in what they learn in school and in how they approach their everyday lives.
