Aim
Managing scientific projects as well as project proposals and developing them towards successful science is a common task for scientists as well as practitioner. In this course different approaches will be introduced and discussed.
Content
Research does mean much more than identifying crucial research question, finding appropriate data, developing algorithms and deriving new findings. While this course will contain all mentioned issues it will beyond highlight the challenges for raising money for research, writing proposals, building up networks, writing papers and doing presentations. All topics will be introduced by the examples of currently running research projects.

The Bavarian Forest and the Bohemian Forest together form the largest contiguous forest area in central Europe, which is of an extraordinary importance for the protection and maintenance of biological diversity. Since 1970, a large area of the forest is protected as a...
One week courses on hyperspectral and time-series analysis
In the past few weeks various block courses by colleagues from DLR have taken place. Divers topics how remote sensing can be used, which methods have to be applied and how to put it into practice were covered by our colleagues Hannes Taubenböck, Martin Bachmann and...
Urban Geography Course by Hannes Taubenböck
Hannes Taubenböck from DLR discussed with our EAGLE students the application of remote sensing applications within urban research.
Scientific Presentation of Earth Observation Applications
As every term our students could participated in a scientific presentation course where they learned how to prepare, design and defend a scientific talk. Beside the theoretical part many practical exercises were part of this course and a final presentation in a large...
EAGLE excursion to DLR-EOC
Our 2017 EAGLEs spend a great day at DLR-EOC close to Munich and learnt a lot about applied remote sensing. Beside talks about a variety of topics did the EAGLE students also have the chance to discuss in small groups with DLR scientists their research or...
EAGLE 2017 students
Our new EAGLEs arrived and started their M.Sc. on Applied Earth Observation. During the official welcome all new students were introduced to the lecturer and the EAGLE students board. A joint dinner allowed to get to know everybody and address a...
Winter term 2017 is about to start
While the "old" EAGLEs are spending their 3rd term doing internships or innovation laboratories in Italy, Portugal, Poland or Burkina Faso at various research organizations or companies, the new EAGLEs for the winter term 2017/2018 will be welcomed next week. The...
Remote Sensing in Ecology
The EAGLE course "Remote Sensing in Biodiversity and Conservation Science" took place in the last week of the summer term at the field research station in Fabrik Schleichach, Steigerwald. 20 biology and EAGLE students worked and lived together for one week and...
