After successful completion of the course, students are able to identify current problems, particularly with regard to sustainable mobility, and apply methods from different disciplines to analyze these problems.

The seminar deals with current problems in the field of mobility and sustainability. Each semester a different subtopic will be in focus. Guest lecturers from different disciplines share their viewpoints on the topic and teach different methods for analyzing complex sustainability problems. The technological perspective will be complemented especially by social sciences. The course addresses all study fields and aims at creating an interdisciplinary group of students.

In the summer semester 2024, the course will be held in German. The subject area includes in particular legal aspects and public participation in transport-related planning processes.

In the course of the semester, the students will devote themselves to a thematic focus of their own choice and will also write a seminar paper. The thematic focuses will be presented at the beginning of the seminar, but students can also choose a topic to work on themselves. In addition, the results will be presented and discussed in a joint plenary session. The type of presentation can be chosen by the students themselves (creativity is definitely desired). In addition, there will be different input lectures.

The course is based on a mix of presentations, interactive elements online and offline, hands on group work and student presentations

Wednesday, 14:00-15:30

Grading will be based on students active participation in the seminar and interactive elements, the final assignment and the presentation and discussion of their mid-term short assignement work.
