Data Visualisation covers techniques for creating effective data visualisations based on principles from statistics, cognitive science, and graphic design to help analysts and decision-makers understand and explore big data. The course covers eight primary topics:

• Visualising univariate and multivariate numerical data
• Visualising time series data
• Visualising geospatial data
• Visualising networked data
• Visualising high-dimensional data
• Visualising textual data
• Interactive dashboards
• Animations

• The course involves interactive lectures with exercises to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical design and analysis skills.
• Real-life examples are used to show how the course content can be applied in practice.

After successful completion of the course, students will

Professional competence

• be able to create visualisations that inform business decision making
• recognise the typical challenges of visualising large and complex data sets

Methodological competence

• understand the main concepts, theories, and methods of data visualisation
• be able to use data-visualisation methods to analyse business problems, generate possible solutions, and compare these solutions in terms of their effectiveness and efficiency

Social competence

• discuss challenges and benefits of statistical graphics
• help others in group work

Personal competence

• identify new challenges and independently develop viable solutions
• reflect on their own and others’ visualisations

Technological competence

• be able to create graphs like bar charts, scatterplots, line charts, and heatmaps in R to represent various types of data sets visually
• be able to collect and prepare data before it can be visualised

• Students are provided with the lecture slides and supplementary material (e.g., selected journal articles).

This elective course addresses the most sustainable concept of our economic activity: the non-production of new things. It focuses on the urgency and rediscovery of a culture of care, repair, reparability and upcycling to critically question the way we design, build and use our constructed environment. It combines methods from restoration and conservation with new ideas from a growing repair community. Using broken objects, each student will first identify, analyse and discuss the defect(s). After developing a repair concept, a complete restoration is to be realised under professional guidance. The aim is to come up with a coherent and consistent repair solution which, in the best case, will result in a technical and/or design improvement to the object.

The seminar combines input lectures with an exercise to make theoretical lessons usable for practical design solutions.
The seminar is supplemented by intensive self-study and presentations.

After successful completion of the course, students will be able to

Relevant reading will be made available at the beginning of the course. A list of recommended literature will be announced in the course and updated on an ongoing basis.

Minimum 75% compulsory attendance and continuous assessment.
The final grade is calculated according to the weighting of the following components: final submission (60%), midterm presentation (20%) and final presentation (20%).

This seminar presents cutting-edge discussions in urban theory that shed light into globally and locally connected processes of urbanisation. In the face of increasing global challenges, it is incumbent upon designers to engage with climate change, uneven development, migration, economic crises and social conflicts. Cities and regions are key sites in which these challenges are staked, resulting in an uneven landscape of resources and opportunities.
The course therefore analyses state-of-the-art theoretical texts from fields such as urban studies and geography, in order to provide insight into the urbanisation processes that underlie contemporary urban life.

Ziel der Lehrveranstaltung ist es, den Studierenden die grundlegenden Kenntnisse der internationalen Vermögensplanung und -gestaltung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Erb-, Ehegüter-, Anfechtungs- und Insolvenzrechts auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene zu vermitteln.

Die Lehrveranstaltung behandelt folgende Themenfelder:

• Internationales Erb-, Ehegüter-, Anfechtungs- und Insolvenzrecht
• Asset Protection – Grundlagen und Strukturen
• Asset Protection im Scheidungsrecht
• Asset Protection bei Testamentsvollstreckung und Vollmacht
• Asset Protection – Erbrecht und Trust Litigation

Interaktive Vorlesungen, ergänzt durch Case Studies aus der Praxis; eingehende Diskussion unter Einbeziehung der Studierenden.

Ganz im Zeichen der Vermögensplanung und -nachfolge steht das achte Modul. So ist der erste Teil dem internationalen Erb- und Ehegüterrecht gewidmet. Den Studierenden werden zunächst die internationalen prozessrechtlichen Grundlagen Liechtensteins wie auch der umliegenden Länder (Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz) im Hinblick auf das Ehe- und Ehegüterrecht eingehend erläutert, ebenso die internationalen Abkommen aus diesen Bereichen. Hierzu gehört auch die Feststellung der anwendbaren Rechtsnormen, deren Prüfung sowie die einzelnen Anknüpfungstatbestände. Im Anschluss wird das materielle Ehegüterrecht der einzelnen Rechtsordnungen sukzessive behandelt und einander gegenübergestellt. Auch im Hinblick auf das internationale Erbrecht werden zunächst die Abkommen sowie die liechtensteinischen kollisionsrechtlichen Bestimmungen intensiv erörtert. Im Besonderen wird sodann auf das internationale Erbrecht nach Stiftungen und Anstalten eingegangen, bevor die prozessuale Vorgehensweise erläutert wird. Ein Überblick über das internationale Insolvenz- und Anfechtungsrecht, insbesondere im Hinblick auf gesellschafts- und erbrechtliche Sachverhalte, rundet den ersten Teil ab. Im zweiten Teil liegt das Augenmerk auf den Möglichkeiten der Asset Protection, also dem Schutz erworbenen Vermögens vor dem Zugriff Dritter. Nachdem die Grund-lagen funktionierender Asset Protection (wie zum Beispiel die Zulässigkeit der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit eines Asset Protection Trusts usw.) eingehend erörtert wurden, kommen die Möglichkeiten und Erfordernisse zunächst aus ehegüter-rechtlicher Sicht, sodann aus erbrechtlicher Perspektive zur Sprache. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Arbeit an konkreten, realen Fällen.

• The purpose of this course is twofold: First, invited talks by researchers from other institutions (and, occasionally, from the University of Liechtenstein) bring students in touch with cutting-edge research in their field. Second, students learn how to give an academic presentation of one of their research papers. Students will receive feedback on their performance. Our goal is to provide research colloquia for all specializations, but the course may not be offered for all specializations in each academic year. Students from two specializations may be gathered into one colloquium for organizational reasons. Key topics covered are: Current research in business economics Structure and content of an academic paper discussion

Presentations, discussions with feedback.

Modul 8 verschafft einen vertieften Einblick in aktuelle regulatorische Entwicklungen in den Bereichen Digitalisie-rung und Nachhaltigkeit. Im Fokus stehen die Regulierung von Kryptowerten (TVTG, MiCAR und DLT Pilot Regime), das Datenschutzrecht sowie die europäische Nachhaltigkeitsregulierung.
Das Modul bietet einen Einblick in die Regulierung aktueller technikgetriebener Geschäftsmodelle im Bereich des Finanzmarktrechts. Behandelt werden verschiedene FinTech-Trends wie Kryptowerte, digitale Vermögensverwal-tung (Robo Advice), Algorithmic Trading sowie Crowdfunding- und P2P-Plattformen. Ausserdem wird auf europä-ische Legislativakte im Bereich der Plattformregulierung eingegangen (DMA, DSA) und deren Auswirkung auf das Bank- und Finanzmarktrecht behandelt. Es werden Schnittstellen zu anderen Bereichen des europäischen Wirt-schaftsrechts beleuchtet, beispielsweise zum Datenschutzrecht. Im Schwerpunkt Nachhaltigkeit wird der europä-ische Rechtsrahmen zu Sustainable Finance behandelt (TaxonomieVO, CSRD, CSDDD, OffenlegungsVO).

This is an interactive and practical course on all kind of questions about managing personal and individual financial situations in daily life with a focus on the specific needs of young people.

We will start with 2 interactive input days at the beginning of the semester. Over these 2 days, we provide students with an overview on personal finance to help them to immerse themselves in a general understanding of the topic and on how to solve the assignments.

This is followed by 2 days, reserved for active contributions of students. We will form several groups. Each group will provide 2 short presentations, one is on a general topic related to saving and investing, one is the presentation on a combination of savings and Investment plan to develop their future wealth.
