Equal Opportunities Research Projects

The project “Geo-Risks in Bochum – a project-based, individualized field trip in the Geosciences Bachelor program on the effects of flooding along the Ruhr at Kemnader Lake”, submitted by Prof. Dr. Tobias Backers and Dr. Mandy Duda, won the 35th E-Learning Competition 5x5000. It enabled students to independently study flood risks and offered flexibility for participation, particularly for students with jobs or care-work responsibilities.
