After successful completion of the course, students are able to present in-depth research results on the topic of their elective seminar paper written in the previous semester in a scientific form according to international standards, going beyond an elective seminar paper. This should also serve to create publishable contributions for scientific anthologies (proceedings, etc.) from the seminar papers.

Through this in-depth seminar, students learn how to extract further research questions from a topic that has already been worked on or which methods other than those already practiced during the elective seminar are available. In addition, students are taught various paper templates and the different citation and referencing methods. The communication of this content is essential for the creation of publishable contributions for scientific anthologies (proceedings, etc.).

The students bring with them their successfully graded elective seminar work in the fields of architecture and art history, monument preservation or architectural theory. This then serves as a basis for developing it into a publishable academic text with individual support and in-depth study.

Zum Themenbereich Pferdeeisenbahn:

Im Sommersemester 2024 geht es bei der Gruppe von Jäger-Klein darum, aus den 18 Wahlseminarbeiten zur Architekturgeschichte der beiden vorangegangenen Wahlseminare die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse Richtung Unterschutzstellung der Pferdeeisenbahn Gmunden - Linz - Budweis las nationales Denkmal herauszuarbeiten. Die vollständige nationale Unterschutzstellung ist eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Ernennung zum UNESCO Welterbe, die als bilaterale Einreichung von Österreich und Tschechien bis 2025 im Raum steht.

The course can only be successfully completed if the advanced seminar work to be submitted in writing meets the international standard.
