| Content | Does your MA or PhD project involve partners outside of academia? Are you using concepts and theories that lie at the intersection of academic fields of study? Have you started consulting literature on inter- and transdisciplinarity for guidance on how to address the challenges involved in such research projects? This course introduces master and graduate students to the terminology, approaches, concepts, theories, methods and practical resources of inter- and transdisciplinary research. Students will practice their application to specific problems and will acquire skills to navigate the available resources and to apply suitable research tools. |
| Learning objectives | The learning goals of this interdisciplinary seminar will be jointly formulated at the beginning of the course. |
