| Inhalt | Heat is becoming an increasingly important sustainability challenge that affects social life, health, planning, and infrastructure in unequal ways. Responding to heat requires not only technical solutions, but also attention to social contexts, institutions, and forms of collaboration across science and practice. At the same time, universities are important spaces to explore how complex sustainability problems can be addressed in more applied and solution-oriented ways. In this seminar, we will examine heat as a socio-environmental-technical challenge from a social science perspective. We will discuss transdisciplinary approaches to sustainability research and explore how students can work on real-world problems in a critical and solution-oriented way. The specific cases and thematic emphases of the seminar will be discussed with the participants at the beginning of the course. |

| Bemerkungen | The course will be held in English and was developed within the framework of a Eucor cooperation. Eucor – The European Campus is a trinational alliance of five universities in the Upper Rhine region, bringing together the universities of Basel, Freiburg, Strasbourg, Haute-Alsace, and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The course draws on academic contributions from the German and French partner universities and reflects the cross-border and interdisciplinary character of the Eucor network.
