Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Select one of the 4 topics to choose from – which will form a group of three people; each member will choose one of the three original research papers within this topic. Prepare a 20 min engaging talk explaining the research question, the main research variables and how they were measured, and the results. Followed by a Q&A session/discussion of 10 min. Afterwards each participant will be (randomly) assigned a stakeholder position that you will defend in a debate style. Conclude with how each paper contributes to understanding the main topic. Total time per topic is a half day (morning or afternoon).
