Abstract :
The world is facing challenges in the 21st century that are
very different from those in the previous centuries. Globalization, new technology, and knowledge growth in today’s
societies call for creative and purposeful citizens who can
combine excellence with ethics. Gifted students and professionals in science create new ideas and products that can
be used in the benefit of our society. However, the creative
process in science includes many ethical issues that need to
be considered before publishing the new idea or the product.
A globalized tendency has been to reform education to
nurture the 21st century competences of our youth.
