Doctoral Academy

Globalization, growing social inequality, the rise of AI, and climate change are just some of the major issues of our time. These issues present urgent moral, social, and ecological challenges that require feasible and sustainable solutions. More than ever, they call for cooperation. Effective cooperation however needs strong leadership, and strong leadership requires solid guidance. In an era of increasing disinformation and misinformation, science must contribute by providing established methods and reliable facts.

This distinguished program offers doctoral candidates a platform to advance their research, engage with renowned scholars, and foster meaningful connections between theoretical inquiry and practical application within the fields of business, and leadership ethics. 

The Doctoral Academy is hosted by the WCGE and the Friede Springer Chair of Business Ethics and Management Accounting at Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg. It is generously funded by the Karl Schlecht Foundation.
