Participant Information

The participants in this program will become acquainted with current methods to analyze complex problems in sustainability science and their impact in our society. Special attention will be payed to quantitative modeling and predictions.

From the perspective of different applications

they will learn about current modeling strategies,
they will be introduced to handling data and statistics, and
their use to develop and evaluate action plans.

The Ringvorlesung can be taken as

SQ Modul (5 LP)
Grundlagenmodul (10 LP) for the University Certificate „Competences for Sustainable Development“
non-physics elective (Wahlpflichtmodul) in the Physics Bachelor- and Masters-Programs (German and IPSP)
