- to learn from real world examples and field-trips how to put stakeholder management, sustainable ressource management etc. into practice

- to develop the skills to analyze a problem and to find solutions relevant to the implementation of sustainability management approaches in different settings;

- to critically reflect, apply and review scientific literature; 

- to structure and write a short scientific paper

Both parts (Vu and SE) of the module are characterized by engaging students in active learning, participation in discussions, presentations and field-trips. An interdisciplinary perspective combines natural science and management and business. This combination should be applied in the alpine region. 

 

In the first part the emphasis is put on:

- Sustainability of organisations and ecosystems from a stakeholder perspective

- the influence of organisations and stakeholders on the sustainable evolution of ecosystems

- collaborative strategies between single actors for a sustainable development of organisations and ecosystems.

- special consideration of limited natural resources in the alpine region (water management)
