A special highlight in the winter semester is the interdisciplinary lecture series, which deals with the topic of “Resilience in the 2.5°C world” and thus deals with the challenges of climate change. In addition, the Marburg module offers students the opportunity to intensively engage with socially relevant topics such as sustainability and equal opportunities.
