The aim of the master's seminar is to promote autonomous research work on a particular topic.

  • The students expand their knowledge and understanding of the chosen topic, investigate the methodology, potential critical points and open questions. 
  • They summarise the results in a long abstract with two open questions and present the results to the class.
  • They participate in the discussions of their peers' presentations and adopt a critical approach towards their own work.
  • At the end they submit a paper on the chosen topic.
The content of all presentations is thematically related to encourage discussion. 
The seminar is not intended for first-semester students. For MIN students there is a strong recommendation to attend the Workshop first.
