Aim
Within this course EAGLE students are exposed to different disciplines and interdisciplinary research.In collaboration with biologists and conservationists new and established approached are discussed and explored by the students in order to define the research goal. The practical analysis is conducted by the students and presented with the collaborators being present.
Content
The students will be introduced to interdisciplinary research and the relevance of clear communication, deliverables and milestones. In a second step they will be linked to different collaborators from other fields and will have the task to define work packages that are feasible within the course time-frame. The actual data analysis will be done as well but the primary goal is not the data analysis but the communication with the other disciplines and being able to provide relevant spatio-temporal information for such a test interdisciplinary project.
Discussions
learning how other disciplines collect field data, what their properties are, what their research questions are
Planning
learning how to plan an interdisciplinary project
Coding
Present
present your research findings to the collaborators
