Current topics highly relevant for the research in Materials Science (and other disciplines) are discussed in presentations by experts and in talks by the participating students. While the experts give a general overview on different aspects, in their presentations the students go into more detail of selected topics. In addition to the scientific content, invited talks given by experts from science and industry and on soft skills are part of the courseconcept (e.g. on basics of scientific presenting, publishing and bibliometrics, university rankings, etc.).
