• 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 discussion of a paper using one of the talks as an example. The discussion will be delivered immediately after the talk in the research colloquium, and 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.

• After successful completion of the course, students will Professional competence Prepare and deliver a discussion of a research paper at a research seminar. - Social competence Interact with scientists in different phases of their career. Formulate critical questions in a neutral and professional manner. - Personal Competence Reflect on one’s own performance and professional behavior.
