Description

Additional Information for the winter semester 2011/12

Each group of students will be provided with one global challenge (e.g., energy, global warming, peace) and will be asked to write a research paper essentially on how IS can contribute to this challenge. Each group consists of students from three different institutions.
The seminar will be accompanied a supervisor per institution, responsible for the institution’s students, meeting them once a week.

A mid-term and final presentation is planned.

The group members are not expected to meet live. On the contrary, they should use different collaboration tools to work on their seminar thesis.
