At the moment, Eva Schwarz, is enrolled in the research project Collective Phronesis. A survey of collectivity, decision making and professionela considerations in the welfare professiones in Sweden and Germany. (together with Jonna Lappalainen, project-leader; and Anna-Mia Bergqvist). The project examines whether, and if so how, Phronesis (Practical Wisdom) could be understood as a collective capability, and if so, in what way this knowledge is expressed and understood. The project combines philosophical investigations of the concept of "collective phronesis" with a study of how professionals in the education system and the police force in Sweden and Germany – understand and relate to this very concept.

Previosly, Eva Schwarz has led the interdisicplinary research project Being and Becoming: A phenomenological perspective on formative dimensions of preschool education in Sweden and Germany(funded by Östersjöstiftelsen, 2015-2019).
