The student has a solid understanding of the following areas of knowledge and can effectively apply them: -
Green and circular chemistry: Familiarity with the 12 principles of green chemistry and the 10 principles of circular chemistry, and their application to drive sustainable advancements in materials, devices, and processes for energy conversion and storage. -
End-of-life concepts in sustainable materials: Proficiency in methodologies that incorporate the concept of "end-of-life" to ensure sustainability in materials, considering their life cycle and potential for reuse or recycling. -
Interaction between materials and their operational environments: Comprehension of the dynamic relationship between materials and the working environments in which they are utilized, particularly within the context of devices.

In the course 'Capita Selecta: Developments in Materials Research,' students will explore the boundary conditions for good science. Through the analysis of case studies, students will learn how to contextualize materials research within a broader framework by considering the ethical, techno-economic and regulatory implications of various research topics. In doing so, students will learn how to engage different stakeholders.
Guest lectures focusing on scientific integrity and ethics, specifically examining case studies relevant to materiomics. This module culminates in a debate session centered around the scientific integrity and ethical aspects related to the topic of their master's internships.
Guest lecture on the economic and social context of materiomics. This includes topics such as open innovation and value proposition. Following the lectures, students apply the covered concepts to the topic of their master's internship and discuss their analysis with their peers in a group discussion.
By the end of the course, students will achieve the following learning outcomes:
Apply insights into scientific integrity and ethics within a professional setting.
Engage in substantiated discussions regarding sustainability, ethics, and integrity within the domain of materiomics.
Conduct an analysis of the innovativeness and economic context applied to a topic covered in the hot topic lectures.
Actively participate in group discussions and contribute to debates by sharing their viewpoints.

The programme component is offered twice. The evaluation is identical for both offerings.Semester 2 (3,00sp)
| Evaluation method | |
|
| Written evaluation during teaching period | 30 % |
|
| Transfer of partial marks within the academic year | ✔ |
|
| Conditions transfer of partial marks within the academic year | The student should have obtained a minimum grade of 10/20 for this
assignment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Oral evaluation during teaching period | 70 % |
|
| Transfer of partial marks within the academic year | ✔ |
|
| Conditions transfer of partial marks within the academic year | The grades obtained for the debate (ethics and values) and group
discussion (value proposition) can be transferred to the second
examination period if the student scored at least 10/20. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | The student is required to complete all written assignments. Moreover, the student is required to attend the debate (ethics and values) and group discussion (value proposition). |
|
|
|
| Consequences | If the student does not complete all written assignments or does not attend the debate or group discussion because of an unjustified reason, a final mark will not be assigned. Instead, an 'N' will be displayed on the score sheet ('N' = evaluation not fully completed: unjustified absence for one or more components of the evaluation). |
|
|
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | It is not possible to schedule another debate or group discussion during
the re-examination period. Instead, the student will be assigned a
written task to reflect on the ethical and sustainability aspects
relevant to the field of materiomics. |
