General topic:
Is the 'added value' of a dissertation measureable? Exemplified by the concept of 'sense' as tertium comparationis in translation

 

MuTra PhD will be dedicated to the question of whether we can, and if so, how we can measure the 'added value' of a dissertation (project) or research paper. Are there indications of 'added value' before undertaking a research project? Is the 'impact factor' a valid orientation and why (not)? How do empirical studies fare in the light of Popper's claim 'no observation without a problem'? Can we judge the 'creative imagination' to solve problems that have arisen in specific scientific settings? If so, by which logical thought processes, criteria and methods?

These questions will be discussed during the MuTra colloquia (see 'Veranstaltungsüberblick') and in the extended weekend workshops (11/2012 and 1/2013) in the coming fall semester 2012/13, questioning the dissertations-in-progress. The language is German and/or English as the situation requires. We welcome all doctoral candidates and interested colleagues.
