Teaching and Didactical Concept: Bridging Research and Teaching | Teaching and Research

Throughout the courses offered by the chair, the approach of research-based learning is applied to encourage independent thinking and enthusiasm for scientific problem solving among students.

Transfer | Making Science Effective

With the concept of research-based teaching, teaching is hybridised, with the keyword ‘transfer’ we aim to hybridise research. In order to make science effective, the designs and results of scientific research must move closer to society.
