Advanced Seminar

Last modified May 2

Content and goals

In this seminar, the latest research results and current projects of our chair are presented. The presentations take place in blocks and are composed of:

Presentations of planned, ongoing, and completed scientific papers by the particular students
Reports on ongoing dissertations
Reports on current projects
Business and research guest lectures
Technology discussions and presentations

Participation in the advanced seminar is obligatory for all students registered for a Bachelor's Thesis, Master´s Thesis, Guided Research, IDP, or SEP. The student´s presence as well as his/her participation will influence the evaluation of the student´s grade. Furthermore, every student has to do a final presentation on his or her findings (30 minutes, including 10 minutes of discussion). Additionally, a presentation at the beginning of the research is required (20 minutes, including 10 minutes of discussion). To schedule a presentation date, the student has to contact his or her advisor. The first-come-first-serve principle will be used.

Guidelines for students

Please refer to the Guidelines for student research projects. They provide a detailed process description every student has to adhere to.
