Project Description
The Pro Bono Project gives the student an opportunity to draw a close connection to the practice. Through the preparation of a Pro Bono project, the students gain a deeper insight into the three main areas of professional activity: concept phase, execution phase and reflection phase. In this way the students can complement and/or test their theoretical studies with practice-relevant work.

Doctoral degree programme in Architecture and Planning
Project Description
Doctoral students in Architecture and Planning require in-depth knowledge in epistemology and ontology as well as an applicable base of research methods and design methodical tools. The individually tutored, recherche based investigative project will complement the module Research Design, and be tailored to the needs of the individual students and cover a selection of the following and other related topics:
- Theories of design in architecture and urban planning
- Form values in history
- Normative approaches to the theory of spatial quality
- Research design and the use of theory in architecture and planning
- Inquiry by design
- Interdisciplinary research in design and planning
- Research projects with industrial and government partners in he built environment
- Action research in planning and environmental studies
- Project design / design project
Teaching Method
Participant centered learning approach consisting of inquiry into the literature, cases and best practices in a structured process of self-study, concluded by a presentation as well as a paper submission.
Learning Objectives
The students will be able to
- understand and be conversant in the ontological and epistemological foundations of their research work
- differentiate between different schools of thought
- design research procedures according to valid research questions
- select, develop and apply suitable qualitative and quantitative research methods
- evaluate their own research with respect to the ability to validate assumptions and hypotheses
- be successfully examined by a group of academics in a presentation and paper submission at the end of the tutorial recherche
Assessment Methods
The students will be assessed in this module through:
- Paper
- Presentation
Grade
A personalised working-schedule and tutorial times for participants will be agreed in due time.

Study Programmes
Doctoral degree programme in Business Economics
Project Description
Just as the doctoral consortium, the summer school serves multiple purposes in the students' education: Whereas the doctoral consortium aims at presenting the own work to an international audience, the summer school is supposed to deepen the students' methodological skills. In addition, working together with professors and PhD students from abroad also contributes to developing the students' social and communicative skills in an international and intercultural environment.
Teaching Method
In preparing their proposals and applications for a summer school, students will be assisted by lecturers of the Institute of Information Systems at the University of Liechtenstein. Accepted students will take part in the summer school. A reflection of the lessons learned at the summer school together with the lecturers is also part of the module.
Learning Objectives
The primary objective of the summer school is to get further insights into the research methods applied by the PhD students and to discuss evolving questions with other young scientists.
Assessment Methods
The students will be assessed in this module through:
- competitive selection process of the summer school
- specific mechanisms of the summer school
Grade
Module availability:
On application at an internationally renown summer school, such as organised e. g. by the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS).
