Guest Lecture

Guest lecturers offer students the opportunity to meet passionate, committed and critical people and to learn from them in various ways. Guest lecturers can act as role models and bring an authentic, vivid picture of the real world to students, thereby enabling transdisciplinary learning. Experiences and perspectives from local actors and entrepreneurs inspire students in their own (entrepreneurial) projects, creating motivation and an action-orientation.
