As part of the Study about the Excellence of the Graduate Professors in the National Autonomous University of Mexico, we applied an interview guide to 21 academics in 2018. We will present the answers to the question: In your research projects have you encounter dilemmatic situations? In the first part of the article, we included theoretical aspects about what are moral dilemmas?, dilemmas are generated by the confrontation among different ethical conceptions, specification and balance procedures, moral justification, problems of moral content, diverse models to be able to take moral decisions, attitudes that can be avoided, professional dilemmas and emotions in the development of moral judgement. In the second part we present the twelve categories that were constructed from the answers to the open question.
