Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Based on primary scientific literature, attendants familiarize themselves with a current research theme of Microbial Ecology. They present this subject to their peers and supervisors in a seminar lecture, which is followed by an open discussion of the topic. Subsequently, the attendants identify potentially interesting open scientific questions related to their topic and write a short research proposal, as if they were to obtain funding to pursue these scientific questions in a research project. Finally, this research proposal is presented in a second seminar talk and discussed with peers and supervisors.

Continuous assessment of course work. Quality and completeness of the first and second seminar presentations, and active participation in the discussions. Quality, originality, and completeness of the written short research proposal.
