Students will assess selected projects in teams regarding potential impacts on society and the environment. They will furthermore develop recommendations for improved project design in case of identified deficits; in case of ongoing projects implementation of the recommendations will be considered. In intermediate and final presentations, students showcase progress and will write a final critical evaluation report.
