Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies is a 10-year, NWO Gravitation multi-university research programme that critically examines how emerging technologies such as AI, neurotechnology, synthetic biology, and environmental technologies challenge our foundational moral and conceptual frameworks. It aims to rethink and reconstruct ethical concepts (such as autonomy, responsibility, justice, and the human–nature divide) for the 21st century. By innovating philosophical methods and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, ESDiT develops new ways to assess, guide, and govern socially and conceptually disruptive technologies.

Research Ethics and integrity for the GREEN transition is a 3-year Horizon Europe project that develops a comprehensive ethics and integrity framework for research and innovation in the context of climate and environmental challenges. It uses a bottom-up social labs methodology to collaboratively engage diverse stakeholders in creating operational guidelines, policy recommendations, and training programs to ensure research supports a sustainable transition aligned with the demands of environemntal and climate ethics.

• Role: co-leader of WP1 (analyse, identify, assess); contributor to all WPs.

• Duration: 2024 – 2027.

Conditions for Responsible SRM Research is a 3-year Horizon Europe project that explores whether, and under what conditions, experimental research on Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) could be carried out responsibly. Bringing together researchers and diverse stakeholders, the project clarifies what SRM experiments entail and develops governance tools and guidelines. Co-CREATE does not advocate for or against SRM; instead, it supports informed, transparent, and ethically grounded decision-making.

• Role: consortium member, contributor to WP4.

• Duration: 2024 – 2026.

The Anxiety Culture project investigates how anxiety has become a defining condition of contemporary global society. Taking an interdisciplinary lens  from climate change, migration and digitalisation to population health and political upheaval, the project studies how collective and individual anxiety reshapes modern life. Through research, public‑engagement, and artistic outreach, Anxiety Culture seeks not only to analyse this pervasive “state of uncertainty,” but to offer new conceptual, social and political tools for navigating it.

• Role: consortium member, contributor to the eco-anxiety research line.

• Duration: 2015 – 

Planetary Justice & Energy Transition Technologies is a 4-year BMS Starter Grant project that explores how to apply the concept of planetary justice to the energy transition. It unpacks justice challenges related to recognition, distribution, and participation in the energy transition through an interdisciplinary lens. The project combines conceptual work with participatory and governance‑oriented methods to translate justice principles into practical criteria for multi‑level energy policies. 

• Role: Principal Investigator.

• Duration: 2024 – 2028.

TechEthos – Ethics for Technologies with High Socio-Economic Impact was a 3-year EU‑Horizon 2020 project dedicated to bringing ethical and societal values into the design of emerging technologies. It focused on 3 emerging technologies technologies (climate engineering, neurotechnologies, and digitally extended reality), analysing their ethical, legal, and social implications, and then developing operational ethics‑by‑design guidelines for researchers, policymakers, and research ethics committees.

• Role: Consortium member (University of Twente team).

• Duration: 2021 – 2023.

This 2-year Swiss National Science Foundation project explored how cosmopolitan political theory can be reconciled with green political theory, focusing on the notion of post-national citizenship. It investigated how individuals and political communities should balance obligations beyond the nation-state in the face of planetary environmental challenges and developed normative principles and institutional proposals that support sustainable and just global governance.

• Role: Principal Investigator.

• Duration: 2020 – 2022.

This 2-year DFG project within the "The Future Ocean" Cluster of Excellence examined how to distribute adaptation finance fairly to Small Island Developing States (SIDS) facing sea‑level rise. It developed normative criteria and procedural rules  (such as vulnerability, democracy, and sustainability) for deciding who should receive international adaptation support in priority. The goal was to design a morally just framework for allocating scarce adaptation funding in a way that respects both vulnerability and democratic legitimacy.

• Role: Consortium member (as a postdoctoral researcher).
