Events and Dissemination

A key factor in bringing the relevance and practical dimension of the teaching content, assignments, and the simulation game to life is the direct exchange with experts from political practice. Students benefit from inspiring guest lectures as well as from thought-provoking panel discussions, which connect academic learning with current political debates.

The module is also accompanied by ongoing scientific reflection. Findings are shared with the wider academic community—through conference presentations, award ceremonies, networking events, and publications—ensuring that the innovative teaching approach resonates far beyond the classroom.
