Such a nuanced approach shall serve to debunk rampant misconceptions about Islam\, often reducing its geography\, society\, and political history into one monolith static perception that cannot withstand any serious scrutiny. Building up on Shahab Ahmed’s perspective in What is Islam? The Importance of Being Islamic\, I shall showcase how the broader geography\, the heterogeneous identities\, and the complex political system of Islam throughout history tell a different story. \nAnyone interested in participating online can email johanna.lawall@uni-wuerzburg.de to receive the Zoom link. \nMore information on the event here.

In the first part\, you will discover the basics of programmatic assessment and will have the possibility to adapt this approach to your classes. In the second part\, you can explore how this approach is implemented in CHARM-EU´s Master of sustainability. We will offer a third part in spring to give all participants of both workshops the possibility to connect further and discuss their first steps with programmatic assessment in their own classrooms and discuss challenges. \n\nTarget Audience:  Teachers of all disciplines who want to critically question their examination formats and try out new approaches\nFormat: Interactive with inputs\, reflection phases and exchange among colleagues\nLanguage: German\n\nThe programmatic assessment approach offers a number of advantages over traditional examination approaches: Instead of isolating isolated examination events\, the focus is placed on a systematic examination process in which students regularly request feedback on the learning process. The variability of the examination forms allows students to contribute their different strengths and make their personal development visible. As a teacher\, you can support your students’ learning in a more sustainable way and gain a more comprehensive picture of their abilities. Systematic feedback should help your students to recognize weaknesses and work on them in a targeted manner. Collecting various examination and feedback data will help you to evaluate performance in a more informed way and reduce your students’ examination anxiety. \nIn a 2.5-hour online workshop\, we will introduce you to the concept of programmatic assessment and support you in reflecting on your own examination practice. The aim is that by the end of the workshop you will have developed initial ideas and approaches on how you can gradually make examinations in your modules more meaningful and conducive to learning. Please bring a concrete example from your teaching practice that you would like to work on during the workshop! \nFor better planning\, we look forward to receiving registrations by February 14 to klara.schneider@hs-ruhrwest.de. \n\nUm den Ansatz des Programmatic Assessment besser kennenzulernen\, bieten die Hochschule Ruhr West und die Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg eine dreiteilige Workshop-Reihe an. Im ersten Teil haben Sie Gelegenheit\, die Grundlagen des Programmatic Assessment besser kennenzulernen. Im zweiten Teil wird der Fokus auf die Umsetzung von Programmatic Assessment im Rahmen des CHARM-EU Master Global challenges for Sustainability gerichtet. Ein dritter Teil wird voraussichtlich im Mai angeboten. Hierzu sind insbesondere die Teilnehmenden der ersten beiden Teile eingeladen. Sie haben die Möglichkeit\, erste Erfahrungen mit Programmatic Assessment im eigenen Unterricht und Herausforderungen zu diskutieren. \n\nWorkshop: Sinnhaft(er) prüfen – erste Schritte in Richtung Programmatic Assessment\nZielgruppe: Lehrende aller Fachrichtungen\, die ihre Prüfungsformate kritisch hinterfragen und neue Ansätze ausprobieren möchten\nFormat: Interaktiv mit Inputs\, Reflexionsphasen und Austausch unter Kolleginnen\nOrt: online via Teams\n\nDer Ansatz des Programmatic Assessment bietet eine Reihe von Vorteilen gegenüber klassischen Prüfungsansätzen: Anstatt vereinzelte Prüfungsereignisse zu isolieren\, wird der Fokus auf einen systematischen Prüfungsprozess gelegt\, in dem Studierende regelmäßig Feedback zum Lernprozess einfordern. Durch die Variabilität der Prüfungsformen können Studierende ihre unterschiedlichen Stärken einbringen und ihre persönliche Entwicklung sichtbar machen. Als Lehrende können Sie Ihre Studierenden nachhaltiger beim Lernen begleiten und erhalten ein umfassenderes Bild von ihren Fähigkeiten. Systematisches Feedback soll Ihren Studierenden dabei helfen\, Schwächen zu erkennen und gezielt daran zu arbeiten. Das Sammeln verschiedener Prüfungs- und Feedbackdaten hilft Ihnen dabei die Leistungen fundierter zu bewerten und Ihren Studierenden Prüfungsangst zu nehmen. \nIm Rahmen eines 2\,5 stündigen Online-Workshops wollen wir Ihnen das Konzept des Programmatic Assessment näher bringen und Sie bei der Reflexion Ihrer eigenen Prüfungspraxis unterstützen. Ziel ist es\, dass Sie am Ende des Workshops erste Ideen und Ansätze entwickelt haben\, wie Sie Prüfungen in Ihren Modulen schrittweise sinnhafter und lernförderlicher gestalten können. Bitte bringen Sie ein konkretes Beispiel aus Ihrer Lehrpraxis mit\, an dem Sie während des Workshops arbeiten möchten! \nFür eine bessere Planbarkeit freuen wir uns über Anmeldungen bis zum 14. Februar an klara.schneider@hs-ruhrwest.de.

Ensuring a reliable water supply for both humans and ecosystems presents a significant challenge. Groundwater\, often overlooked\, plays a crucial role in balancing wet and dry periods. Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a technique that stores excess water during rainy seasons for use during droughts. The NaBa-MAR approach\, developed by the ELTE Hydrogeology Group\, was implemented in the ClimEx-PE project of the CHARM-EU universities. This project integrates local MAR methods with regional groundwater flow understanding to mitigate extreme hydrological events. Efficient dissemination of this approach to decision-makers and the public is essential. The presentation will showcase the development of the NaBa-MAR concept\, its physical demonstration for educational purposes\, and its implementation possibilities through a comprehensive campaign targeting societies and stakeholders. \n\nHydroclimatic extremes\, such as droughts and water surpluses\, have profound impacts on vast regions\, populations\, and economies.

For many projects\, this transdisciplinary approach is a basic prerequisite that the most diverse perspectives have actually been incorporated. This is the only way to ensure that implementation of results can be successful. At the same time\, the results of the various disciplines should flow into one another. If they do not\, the researchers are not pulling in the same direction. But aren’t they wasting a lot of time along the way? After all\, the aim of a scientist is to publish papers. And to do so for their own discipline…. Can we get out of this dilemma?  \n\nTransdisciplinarity is a noble goal.

It is common practice to argue that dynamically complex socio-environmental problems make such connecting more urgent than ever. But what about the university community and especially students and early-career researchers today? What boundary-crossing knowledges\, skills and attitudes do they need? How can we teach such KSAs; and why? And what can current university staff learn from the younger generation? Central to this presentation are some tested strategies for connective thinking for inter- and trans-disciplinarity. \n\nInspired by the French philosopher Michel Serres (1930-2019)\, this talk will reflect on institutional\, research and educational experiences centered around the making of connections between specialized knowledges.

The name of her chair is Theory of Cultural Inquiry as she deeply believes that there is room for philosophies and theories of knowledge enriched by reflections on humanities and how humanities do not only study the works of culture but also work together with artists. \nIn 2014–18\, Iris van der Tuin chaired the COST Action New Materialism: Networking European Scholarship on ‘How Matter Comes to Matter’. Then she worked in the H2020 project Ethics of Coding: A Report on the Algorithmic Condition. In 2020\, she founded the Susanne K. Langer Circle\, an international and multidisciplinary group interested in the work of the American philosopher Susanne Langer. She is also founding co-editor of the book series New Materialisms at Edinburgh University Press and of the special issue Practice-based Research of Interdisciplinary Higher Education of HSSCOMMS\, an imprint of Nature. \nHer research is part of the group Transmission in Motion of the Institute of Cultural Inquiry (ICON) of Utrecht University\, a hybrid research community that brings researchers across disciplines together with artists and other external stakeholders\, focusing on how technological developments reconfigure our senses. Archives are turned into ‘dynarchives\,’ setting knowledge cultures in motion. Movement\, gesture\, and embodied interaction are also central to new insights into embodied practices of teaching and learning\, creation and performance. This requires new concepts and methods\, opening up to new transdisciplinary horizons for research and development\, and offering new possibilities for cross-sector collaborations between the humanities\, the sciences\, and the arts\, as well as with societal and industry partners. \nIris is also a member of the Research Institute for Philosophy and Religious Studies (OFR) of Utrecht University. This institute is the home of reflection on interdisciplinarity in research\, teaching and learning from historical\, philosophical and empirical points of view. Together with her group she has published Key Texts on Interdisciplinary Higher Education for Bristol University Press. \nMore information about this speaker.
