| Content | The target is to give master students an opportunity to write an own paper in English (that may be considered to be a first step towards the master’s thesis), to present the conclusions to an international audience of researchers at Georgetown University and New York University and discuss the results. |
| Learning objectives | Students will deepen their knowledge by: • writing an original scientific paper on an interesting topic that may serve as a first step to a Master's thesis • presenting the most important findings to a demanding audience in English in the U.S. |
| Bibliography | Students identify the relevant literature under the supervision of Prof. Rolf Weder (University of Basel) and Prof. Jeffrey Macher (Georgetown University). |
