Mission statement |
|
|
|
NSRPP offers - to PhD candidates in ethics, a programme of training, and embedment of their research in a broad network of researchers - to researchers in ethics, a forum for joint research and study activities.
In addition NSRPP seeks to
- improve the quality of Dutch research in ethics;
- to stimulate cooperation, and
- to enhance international visibility of Dutch work in ethics.
NSRPP sees research in the field of fundamental ethics as inseparably linked with that in the area of applied ethics. On the one hand ethical concepts, theories and methods constitute the basis for work in applied ethics and, as such, are relevant to actual political and social discussions. On the other hand issues in the area of applied ethics give rise to (re)new(ed) fundamental reflection on concepts, theories and methods in fundamental ethics.
NSRPP considers it necessary that in both fundamental and applied ethical research links are established with relevant special sciences (jurisprudence, political and social science, moral psychology, neuro and cognitive sciences, biomedical sciences, etc.). |
