From Yemen to Japan: With international Bachelor's and Master's students from various disciplines, this year's Humboldt reloaded Summer School was dedicated to the main focus of research and teaching at the University of Hohenheim: Bioeconomy and how it could change the world. For 8 days they learned from each other and discussed the topic with experts from research and business. The Online Courier accompanied the participants on their journey of knowledge.
The Humboldt reloaded Summer School this year was interdisciplinary, cross-faculty, and more international than ever before. In lectures and excursions, the participants asked the question "How is Bioeconomy going to shape our world?" - and used the time with the experts from research and business more than expected.
"They really did ask our experts tons of questions," said Evelyn Reinmuth, the organizer of the Summer School. "We were able to observe on a daily basis how they immediately applied the newly acquired knowledge from the different disciplines in their next lecture or excursion."
After 8 exciting and exhausting days, the students presented their collected knowledge in a "Slam the Hypothesis". They also showed how creative they are. From a court case between the resources "population" and "fuel" to the self-developed sustainability game "Resource Don't Go," the budding researchers demonstrated what they learned about bioeconomy in the Summer School and what they think it will take to make bioeconomy a success story for the future.
