The course is primarily aimed for doctoral students enrolled in the program for Sustainable Development, Environmental Science, and Engineering. It is conducted as a project work. The work should include elements such as goal formulation, data collection, presentation, and discussion or analysis of the results. An example of a relevant project could be a research project conducted for an authority or a company, presented in a user-customized report. The project work should normally be separate from the doctoral student’s dissertation work. The project can be carried out in collaboration with others. Work that overlaps with the doctoral work and work performed by other collaborators in the project is not a part of the course.
