In the course 'Capita Selecta: Developments in Materials Research,' students will explore recent advancements in the field of materiomics. Through the analysis of case studies, students will learn how to contextualize materials research within a broader framework by considering the ethical and techno-economic implications of various research topics.
The course is structured into three modules:
-
Guest lectures by renowned experts, both national and international, who specialize in computational and experimental approaches to materiomics. The selection of hot topics for these lectures is updated annually in collaboration with materiomics teachers to ensure the inclusion of the latest advancements in the field.
-
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 one of the hot topics covered in module 1.
-
Guest lecture on sustainability aspects and recent developments within the economic and social context of materiomics. This includes topics such as techno-economic analyses and open innovation. Following the lecture, there will be a group discussion to analyze the innovativeness and economic/social context of a selected topic covered in module 1.
By the end of the course, students will achieve the following learning outcomes:
- Reflect on the latest hot topics in the field of materiomics.
- 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.

|
| Transfer of partial marks within the academic year | ✔ |
|
| Conditions transfer of partial marks within the academic year | The grades obtained for the debate (module 2) and group discussion (module 3) 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 the written assignment accompanying the hot topic lectures (module 1). Moreover, the student is required to attend the debate (module 2) and group discussion (module 3). |
|
|
|
| Consequences | If the student does not complete the written assignment, does not attend the debate or does not attend the 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) | The student will need to redo any modules that were not successfully completed. However, it won't be 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. |
