This seminar offers PhD Students a forum to discuss their concepts, research proposals or paper ideas.

After the completion of the seminar the students should be able

•    to categorize their dissertation project into the themes of the field

•    to identify relevant literature for their dissertation project

•    to define next steps in their dissertation projects, and

•    to present their dissertation project, paper idea, or research question to a scientific audience.

As this course format heavily relies on personal interaction between students and faculty, presence in sessions is mandatory. More than two times absence during the sessions announced at the beginning of the seminar will lead to exclusion from the seminar.

The participants present their own dissertation project, take an active part in the scientific discussion, and develop a written contribution.
