Circle U

Normative Political Theory Cluster on Climate Change

The Normative Political Theory Cluster on Climate Change (NPTCCC) is a partnership between the Hoover Chair at UCLouvain and three other members of the Circle U university alliance: Aarhus University, King’s College London, and the University of Oslo. In December 2022, the partnership was awarded a grant from the Circle U Seed funding scheme. The NPTCCC aims at promoting research and education on the normative questions raised by climate change policies. The partnership involves research stays between partner universities and a series of online workshops. At the Hoover Chair, the project is supervised by Axel Gosseries and Pierre André.

The Hoover Chair is also involved in a student-led Circle U project on Health and Labour with the University of Maastricht, the University of Pisa, Humboldt Universität Berlin, and the University of Vienna. It was also awarded a grant from the Circle U Seed funding scheme in December 2022. The contact person is Andrés Salazar.
