| Content | Within the study program of MSD 2017, students have to register 3 times in a 'master's thesis colloquium'. This colloquium is the second one (= colloquium B). The participants present the research questions and the research design used in their master's theses. They prepare their presentations in a way that is accessible to an interdisciplinary audience, focus on the relation of their research questions to sustainable development and the fit between these questions and the research design. |
| Learning objectives | Participants learn - to present research questions and a research concept to an interdisciplinary audience; - to place their research questions in an appropriate sustainability context; - to discuss research questions and concepts from other disciplines; - to provide constructive feedback to their fellow students. |
