Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The two Working Groups Geoecology and Geomorphology and Risk research belonging to Physical Geography jointly organize this Dissertationsseminar. The purpose of the Seminar is to establish and support a culture of peer review and collaboration, to source perspectives from throughout Physical Geography, and to "institutionalize" the progression of dissertation research. Rather than a formal, purely frontal presentation, the Dissertationsseminar is more like a workshop and interactive round-table discussion.

General setting:
- Two or three students per seminar
- ca. 60 minutes per student (25-30 min presentation, 10-15 min comments and suggestions from the discussant, 20 min questions and comments from the audience)
- Postdocs and master students are explicitly invited and welcomed
- Invited discussants are asked to prepare presentations, summarizing the strengths of the PhD project, identifying potentials for improvement and offering other advice.
