Additional information: The projects will be organized in groups, ideally, more than three students per group.

Obligatory coursework: Students should participate in the seminars by presenting project status and sharing their experiences / reflections on the project work. Students should present the final project during the last seminar. Students who cannot participate physically, need to submit written or recorded contributions in advance.
