Academic writing is an increasingly important skill that often is not part of standard curricula. In this seminar, we will learn the most important tools for effective and elegant writing. Each session will cover two to three distinct topics which we will discuss in the plenum and analyze the example papers (see below). After that we will have a breakout session in which we will analyze our own texts in small groups and enter a round of peer feedback.
This seminar works with the book: “Writing Science” by Joshua Schimel (Oxford University Press; ISBN: 978-0-19-976024-4). Two copies are available to students to loan. The readings in the table below refer all to this book.

Green entrepreneurshio involves dicussions on issues related to environmental awareness and social responsibility, inlcuding your decision-making power as a consumer. The course will also present the idea of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), Triple Bottom Line, and how we can think globally and act locally. By supporting local and social businesses we can reduce our footprint in the world and increase the number of Green Entrepreneurs in our communities.
Being a Green Entrepreneur is more than opening a sustainable business. It means having a sustainable global vision including the environmental aspect in the centre of decisions.
Tools to start modeling green business and topics to induce students to be more innovative will be presented. Case studies will be presented to help students identify existing opportunities and turn these into a practical activity.

PhD students and Master degree candidates of the research group Strategy & Management can post questions about statistics and its implementation in R in an internal discussion forum on ILIAS. These are then tackled and solved together on a regular basis under the guiadance of Albert.
The purpose is to solve and discuss relevant and research-specific problems together in order to learn form each other and increase the expertise in R of everyone involved. The skills gained by means of the discussion group are not only relevant for research projects of the research group but can also prove to be useful outside of university. This way, PhD students as well as Master degree candidates can profit from participating in the discussion.
