What is this about?
By taking this interactive module you will learn about and reflect on:

- Moral conflict and a moral dilemma: After an introduction to the concepts you will be asked to apply these concepts while analysis two cases from the Rotterdam Dilemma Game, one of which portrays a moral conflict, the other one a moral dilemma.
- Your own aspirations to become a more virtuous researcher: After reflecting on your overarching goals as researchers at the end of the module, you will be asked to identify the three most important virtues that describe the kind of researcher you want to be (or become).
- The influence of moral exemplar(s) on moral development and the cultivation of virtues: After reflecting on how virtues are learnt, and taught, and what a good role model/mentor entails, you will be asked to reflect on a particular situation, in which someone you looked up to inspired you to act more virtuously.
