Extra information
The college consists of 8 lectures that are set up in conjunction with the college "Debating Science in Society: an introduction to the variant science communication", moderated by ISIS. The topics covered in both colleges are fit together and in some cases the lectures are merged. The students will get started with the information from the lectures in the form of essays, work pieces or elaboration of tasks. Following both courses is very effectief, but it is also possible to follow them separately.
