The Centre for Research in Ethics (CRE) launches its scholarships competition for the academic year 2014-15. The Centre is offering several scholarships worth $5,000 each. These scholarships are intended for graduate students (pursuing a masters or doctoral degree) under the supervision of a regular member of the Center. Candidates writing their dissertation or thesis will be given priority. The scholarships will be accompanied by a formal obligation to participate in an interdisciplinary seminar and in other activities of the Centre.

The mission of the CRE is to contribute to interdisciplinary research and to the excellence of  education in the areas of theoretical and applied ethics. We encourage applications from students working in various disciplines, provided that their research subject is directly related to ethical issues (including, but not limited to: foundations of ethics and its main concepts, normative dimensions of professional ethics, public policy and social practices in areas such as health, law, management of the natural and human environment, trade, social and cultural diversity, etc.).
