Module Content
The main focus of the module is to develop a project proposal for a research or development project, using a chosen set of research methods (scientific or socio-economic).
Students are given the opportunity to participate in preliminary work for future project proposals and/or the chance to complete specific tasks during the development of a project proposal
. Both of these scenarios may involve many of the different elements of a proposal, such as formulation of a research question, justification of a project's scope, budget allocation, grant selection, etc.
Student tasks include:
individually developing (parts of) project proposals
defining the current state of research and the literature
creating hypotheses and formulating research questions
preparing a project plan, including the necessary personnel, material resources, and financing conditions
Further tasks and scope can be individually defined in consultation with the tutor and specified in writing.
The module content is designed to correspond with the selected research approach, provide an appropriate workload, and include the main scientific components of a project proposal. In consultation with the module tutor and after determining the total workload, it may also be possible for students to extend the scope of their work to produce a completed project proposal.

Organisation of Work:
Generally speaking, Project Work 1 and 2 require the students to be actively involved in a research group. This includes project work, the preparation of proposals, taking part in meetings and other research group activities (project meetings, field research excursions, etc.). Furthermore, students will also be responsible for managing communications with their tutor.
How the work is organised will be discussed at the beginning of the semester and recorded in writing as part of the Tutorial Agreement.
