International Economic Law
Tuesday: 14:00 - 16:00, weekly (from 20/10/20) Description: This lecture will serve as a general introduction to fields of Public International Law ("Völkerrecht") and, building on that, International Economic Law. On a substantive level, the aim is to put you in a position where you can follow and critically assess issues of global significance about which you read in the media (e.g. Trade wars, the multilateral world order, international organizations etc.). While the focus will be on the law and policy of the WTO, some consideration will also be given to the Bretton Woods institutions (IMF, World Bank). On a practical level, the lecture and the corresponding examination (presentation+essay based on that) shall enable you to develop and substantiate critical arguments of your own after careful inquiry into a particular subject area (there will be a list of topics and you will also be able to come up with your own). As the lecture will be held in English, you may also use it as a "testing ground" for further developing you language skills. There will be a tutorial to assist you with questions surrounding your presentation and your paper. Die Veranstaltung Internationales Wirtschaftsrecht des Moduls sollen den Studierenden angesichts der Internationalisierung aller Rechtsgebiete wichtige Grundkenntnisse auf dem Gebiet des internationalen Wirtschaftsrechts vermitteln. Zum Kern des Moduls zählen die öffentlich-rechtlichen Aspekte des internationalen Rechtsrahmens, in dem öffentliche und private juristische Personen agieren. Das Modul wird in englischer Sprache gegeben, um einerseits die Internationalität des Themengebiets hervorzuheben und andererseits auf den Umgang mit der im späteren Beruf unerlässlichen englischen Sprache vorzubereiten. Inhaltlich sind die folgenden Themengebiete für die Lehrveranstaltungen relevant: Einführung in das internationale Wirtschaftsrecht (völkerrechtliche Grundlagen, Subjekte, Quellen, Prinzipien, innerstaatliche Geltung und Wirkung des internationalen Wirtschaftsrechts), Historie und Institutionen des Internationalen Wirtschaftsrechts, WTO-Recht. Ziele des Moduls / Kompetenzen: Die Studierenden verstehen internationale und europäische Rechtsnormen und Rechtsfragen, wenden internationale und europäische Rechtsnormen an und beherrschen englische Rechtsterminologie.

GIS for WCM I
Thursday: 16:00 - 20:00, weekly (from 29/10/20) Description: With this course, the participants will get an introduction into the basics and the use of geographic information systems (GIS). The basics of handling and processing spatial data, data formats of vector and raster data as well as the advantages and disadvantages will be explained and discussed. Important GIS tools related to analysis of geospatial data are presented. In the winter term, the focus is on vector data. In the summer term the focus is on processing and analysing raster and vector data. Results of GIS analyses serve as an information base for decision-making and have to be published in project reports or scientific articles. For this purpose, the results must be prepared cartographically. The participants of the course will learn how maps can be produced legible and understandable and which map components always must be included. Basically, the software ESRI ArcGIS 10.x is used. All participants will receive an evaluation code with which the software can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website. The procedure is explained at the beginning of the course. In addition to ArcGIS, options for using other products such as QGIS are also presented. If ArcGIS is not fully operational due to the computer capacity, participants can also work with QGIS in this course. However, a little more time is required for this. ArcGIS can only provide limited functionality depending on the version and licenses. QGIS is for free and it is an open source software that is developed by an independent GIS community. With web-based repositories, the range of functions can be adjusted at any time as required. The participants of GIS courses are generally advised to install QGIS and also use it to test functions which are also included in ArcGIS. The course takes place exclusively online. The participants therefore need their own PC with a Microsoft Windows operating system and an Internet connection. The installation of ArcGIS on an Apple PC is much more complicated and has to be accomplished with the help of changing online resources. If there are any questions, do not hesitate to write an e-mail! With this course, the participants will get an introduction into the basics and the use of geographic information systems (GIS).

Environmental Impact Assessment Using Life Cycle Analysis
Thursday: 14:00 - 16:00, weekly (from 22/10/20) Description: Rapidly expanding global population when complemented with an upgrade in individual’s living standards has deemed human dependency on material goods and services less a matter of choice than necessity. This however, does not come without negative ecological consequences since the production, distribution, use and disposal (including recycling) of such products (goods and services) exert substantial environmental impacts such as global warming, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, land degradation, atmospheric pollution, human health damage, etc., many of which are proven to be imminent threats to mankind. It has therefore become a matter of extreme importance that these impacts must be managed, and to do so effectively, the first step is their identification and quantification. Dovetailing industry and ecology, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), also called as 'Life Cycle Assessment', is a concept and tool designed to identify and measure the environmental impacts linked with different life stages in a product’s life cycle. Following a cradle-to-grave approach, it provides an opportunity to identify the stages of ecological burden (hot-spots) in a product’s life cycle and to design interventions for a more sustainable production, distribution, consumption as well as end-of-life management. This course is designed to introduce students to the principles and framework of LCA as guided by ISO 14040 standard and to help them learn how to practically conduct LCAs as per ISO14044 standard’s guidelines and requirements. By getting involved in fieldwork and using openly available LCA software and datasets, students will conduct simplified LCAs for self-chosen products and will investigate their environmental impacts. By doing so, students will apply and solidify their theoretical as well as practical knowledge about sustainability analytics. They will learn basics of life cycle inventory collection, impact assessment methodologies, hot spot analysis and basics of eco-designing and eco-optimization. In addition, students will learn to write official LCA reports in accordance with ISO 14040/44 standards. Furthermore, the course will provide an opportunity for students to practice working in a team, to manage a small-scale project and to present and write academically sound project reports. Rapidly expanding global population when complemented with an upgrade in individual’s living standards has deemed human dependency on material goods and services less a matter of choice than necessity. This however, does not come without negative ecological consequences since the production, distribution, use and disposal (including recycling) of such products (goods and services) exert substantial environmental impacts such as global warming, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, land degradation, atmospheric pollution, human health damage, etc., many of which are proven to be imminent threats to mankind. It has therefore become a matter of extreme importance that these impacts must be managed, and to do so effectively, the first step is their identification and quantification. Dovetailing industry and ecology, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), also called as 'Life Cycle Assessment', is a concept and tool designed to identify and measure the environmental impacts linked with different life stages in a product’s life cycle. Following a cradle-to-grave approach, it provides an opportunity to identify the stages of ecological burden (hot-spots) in a product’s life cycle and to design interventions for a more sustainable production, distribution, consumption as well as end-of-life management. This course is designed to introduce students to the principles and framework of LCA as guided by ISO 14040 standard and to help them learn how to practically conduct LCAs as per ISO14044 standard’s guidelines and requirements. By getting involved in fieldwork and using openly available LCA software and datasets, students will conduct simplified LCAs for self-chosen products and will investigate their environmental impacts. By doing so, students will apply and solidify their theoretical as well as practical knowledge about sustainability analytics. They will learn basics of life cycle inventory collection, impact assessment methodologies, hot spot analysis and basics of eco-designing and eco-optimization. In addition, students will learn to write official LCA reports in accordance with ISO 14040/44 standards. Furthermore, the course will provide an opportunity for students to practice working in a team, to manage a small-scale project and to present and write academically sound project reports. |
