Norms are ubiquitous both in our individual lives and when we act collectively, and the norms we accept shape our behaviour and thus also society as a whole. The aim of the Research School is to study the field.

Norms are studied in several practical-philosophical fields that use different methods, for example decision theory, meta-ethics and normative ethics. By ensuring that the students become well acquainted with all approaches, the possibility of progress and innovative new ideas increases by combining the approaches.

The research school admits three PhD students to Stockholm University, Uppsala University, and the University of Gothenburg respectively. The research school is financed by the Swedish Research Council.
