Our research
We identify and explore current ethical issues through conceptual, normative and empirical approaches. Our research is both fundamental and applied: providing conceptual tools and hands-on guidance for stakeholders in research, policy, clinical practice, and beyond.
Our future
Students, scientist, professionals and decision-makers all experience ethical dilemmas. We provide tools to explore the values at stake, reflect and manage ethical problems.
Our third task
We take the third task of the University seriously and actively engage with stakeholders to build ethical competence, promote good research practice, and support uptake of research results through tailored & targeted science communication.
