The multi-scalar or multi-level-perspective (MLP) is a useful concept to help understand processes of economic development, especially those that are related to the innovation and diffusion of technologies. Students are assisted in applying the MLP concept to the manifold interactions and inter-dependencies between agents on different spatial levels in relation to the energy transition in a set of regions within Europe.
Using concrete examples of energy transitions in various region types, students develop the ability to connect a theoretical concept with empirical data. A key teaching aim is to learn appropriate research and dissemination methods for academic work. The main focus is on self-organised work in small and very small groups (2 to 3 people). The presentation and the seminar paper are developed together in the group. In the seminar the findings are processed, discussed and compared to each other. Peer learning is especially emphasised.
