Studierende bearbeiten in Projektteams Fragestellungen von Praxispartner:innen aus dem Agro-Food Bereich. Sie entwickeln wissenschaftlich fundierte, praxistaugliche Lösungsvorschläge und wenden dabei ihre im Studium sowie im Rahmen der Lehrveranstaltung erworbenen fachspezifischen, methodenspezifischen, sozialen und persönlichen Kompetenzen an.

Students deepen their basic understanding of systematics and acquire exemplary knowledge of selected organism groups using online tutorials. They then carry out their own determinations on excursions to different habitats and apply methods of biodiversity detection. In workshops, the collected data are analyzed and discussed with a view to various ecological questions.

Students work in teams to develop an interdisciplinary question, research the literature required to answer it and create an overview of the scientific facts. On this basis, they then create information material for a non-scientific audience in a selected media form (video or infographic).
