interdisciplinary and intercultural cooperation
coordination and communication across universities
boundaries
active examination of the seminar’s topics
cobination of literature work, empirical studies, and

5. Collaboration structure
collaboration between two German
universities

what art of interaction
part of the analysis in one seminar topic
