The Network

On this page, we maintain a list of Nordic colleagues working in the field of environmental ethics. The purpose of this list is to facilitate research cooperation by making it easier to find colleagues in the region (GDPR Art 6.1.e). We will add people to the list only on request, and the list will only appear on this website. For requests to be added to the list, deleted from the list, or change your list info, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page.
