Dilemmas of Life in a Scientific Project. An Autoethnographic AccountAnders Fogh Jensen states that projects seem to have no value other than bringing forward change, regardless of the ethical dimension of that change. However, when living in a project and being part of the process of projectification of such institutions as universities, flesh-and-blood individuals are caught in various and often moral dilemmas. In the paper, I attempt to answer the question of how to include moral values in the analysis of project life. Do we know how to present in detail the dilemmas of a life in projects? What causes these dilemmas? I answer these questions in the autoethnographic account. In August 2015, I started a three-year scientific project entitled "Tacit morality. " At the same time, I began keeping a field diary and describing my experience within the project. Autoethnography of science, which I present here, can be run by every scientist; after all, each of us carries projects. On the basis of my field notes, I have managed to identify controversies and dilemmas which appear in projects. Having analysed them, I have come to the conclusion that the relation between a (scientific) project and a stable institution (university) should be based on values, e.g. solidarity, and institutional facilitation. I start the article with the question of how to criticize the disadvantages of projectification and at the same time notice its advantages.Słowa kluczowe: autoetnografia nauki, uniwersytet, projekt naukowy, solidarność, moralność, projektyzacja * Artykuł powstał w ramach projektu "Moralność milcząca: badanie głęboko zakorzenionych w sposobie doświadczania świata elementów tła moralnego" finansowanego przez Narodowe Centrum Nauki (2015/19/N/HS6/01682).
