Our students conduct an (un)project - and take us on am ethics journey through their children's books, pamphlets, posters, short films, blog posts, and even songs they record ❤️

@iflis.bsky.social's and @ljerkaostojic.bsky.social's favourite course

In the second semester, in our Ethics course, we take our students on a journey through history of science, current ethical guidelines, ethical principles in practice, research integrity, fraud, AI literacy, and diversity in science.

We are hosting our biggest event yet - and it is all about Ethics in Science!

13 and 14 January 2026 - we are starting our New Year with (research) integrity and difficult conversations 👀
