Course objectives:

The seminar is designed for doctoral students. It has two objectives. On the one hand, the aim of the seminar is to acquaint students with the latest research in the philosophy and history of science and technology. This is achieved by invited lectures and discussions about new publications. On the other hand, the students present the methodological procedures and partial results of their dissertations. Doctoral students regularly present their results and discuss their outputs (reviews, conference papers, studies, parts of their dissertation). In the seminar, they have the opportunity to discuss common difficulties and solve the specific problems of their dissertation.
