Spring School – Experimental Research on Moral Judgement and (Un)Ethical Behaviour
Wittenberg, Germany
️ 8–12 March 2026
6 ECTS credits
The Doctoral Academy hosted by the WCGE and the Friede Springer Chair of Business Ethics and Management Accounting at Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg is an interdisciplinary training and research community for doctoral candidates working on diverse questions of ethics, responsibility, and sustainability.
The Academy combines academic “schools” on key research and methodological topics with “writing retreats” designed to foster focus and exchange:
- Spring School: Experimental Research– exploring empirical methods and their ethical dimensions (6 ECTS),
- Summer School: Normative Arguments and Practical Implications– engaging with moral theory and its relevance for real-world decision-making (6 ECTS), and
- Writing Retreats– providing space for structured feedback, peer exchange, and concentrated writing time.
Doctoral candidates from philosophy, economics, management, the social sciences, and related fields are invited to join and participate according to their individual research phase. The modular design allows researchers to engage with specific academic weeks that best support their projects.
The Spring School – Experimental Research on Moral Judgement and (Un)Ethical Behaviour offers intensive training in experimental research design within normative contexts and is aimed at PhD candidates and early-career researchers in philosophy, economics, management, and social sciences.
