About the author

Eva van Baarle (Wortel) (1980) obtained her master’s degrees in Philosophy (2004) and International Relations (2004) from the University of Amsterdam. In 2004 her master thesis Business ethics in conflict areas, the Congo case was published by Stichting Maatschappij en Onderneming.

Since 2004, Eva has been working as an assistant professor military ethics and philosophy at the Netherlands Defence Academy. She teaches several national and international military ethics courses. This includes ethics training courses for Dutch military personnel at different levels: from cadets and midshipmen to officers during mid-career courses. Eva also participated in international military courses on ethics and the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) for African officers in Rwanda.

Eva started this PhD project in November 2013 under supervision of Professor Dr. Desiree Verweij (NLDA), Professor Dr. Guy Widdershoven (VUmc) and Dr. Bert Molewijk (VUmc). She has presented her work at national and international conferences, including the annual global conferences of the International Society for Military Ethics in Europe (Euro-ISME), the International Society for Military Ethics (ISME) and the European Association of Centres of Medical Ethics (EACME).

Since January 2016, Eva works one day per week at the VU university medical center on Clinical Ethics Support (CES). She is a member of the NEON project, a national network on CES, which aims to stimulate ethical reflection within healthcare organizations. Eva participates in research aimed at fostering the quality of clinical ethics support in the Netherlands.
