The students will analyze how different scientific methods are designed, developed, presented and implemented in different kinds of research/practices. A number of theoretical approaches of relevance will be interpreted and discussed in line with different applications, tools and strategies for sustainable development. To empirically visualize and evaluate the combination of theoretical models and practical applications, tools and strategies for sustainable development, the students will carry out practical exercises.
