The students begin to familiarize themselves with the strand-specific case (i.e., context, structures and processes, historical development), and explore possible joint research objects (Part A of the Transdisciplinary Research Process).
This project "Climate change in the city" is located in Lüneburg. It is based on the climate adaptation concept of the city of Lüneburg (link above). Master students from the cohorts of 2024 and 2025 already participated in this project and co-developed solutions with a diverse group of stakeholders. So far, group projects focussed on heat adaptation measures, sustainable urban mobility, green spaces and biodiversity, as well as, solutions to bridge the knowledge-action-gap. This year we will focus again on the blue-green infrastructure of Lüneburg in the light of climate change and climate adaptation measures. We will have a special focus on the Ilmenau river and on carriers and barriers for sustainability solutions. Each summer semester students organise a joint off-campus workshop across all group projects co-creating or evaluating their solutions with stakeholders. Some solutions are already successfully implemented in Lüneburg.

Students know:
-the basic scientific state of the art related to their case study.
Students are able to:
-formulate ideas for a joint research object related to their case study.
-present and discuss the first research design and interim results (“work in progress”) in an understandable way.
