APPLY NOW FOR OUR SUMMER SCHOOL - AUG 24th - 28th, 2025
Our summer school is designed to provide young researchers with a strong foundation in
experimental research within normative contexts. Our goal is to equip
participants—especially those with little to no empirical training (e.g., ethicists or
philosophers)—with practical tools to begin designing and conducting their own experiments.
At the same time, we aim to raise awareness among empirically trained researchers (e.g.,
economists or psychologists) of the unique challenges and ethical considerations that arise
when applying empirical methods to normative questions.

Participants will be guided through the process of developing their own research ideas and
experimental designs, with an emphasis on how to ask—and answer—questions with ethical
and societal relevance. Beyond study design, the course also emphasizes the importance of
real-world application. We support students in identifying opportunities to translate their
findings into practice through close collaboration with both academic researchers and
practitioners.
