This course, focused on research and dissertation preparation, is a key element of the study programme. The course aims at developing the student's professional skills and general competences, specifically the student's ability to research and analyse problems, to locate and analyse relevant sources, to present the acquired knowledge and skills in a scientific text and to present in a professional scientific forum. The course is designed as a six-semester course, with the demands of student performance in the course increasing as the semesters progress. The second semester is already fully focused on the student's ability to present the results of his/her scientific research at a scientific conference. During the semester, the student is required to select, in collaboration with his/her advisor, a topic related to the issues addressed in the dissertation for his/her scientific paper (identify the problem to be addressed) and prepare the scientific paper to be eligible for presentation at a scientific conference (ability to present the solution found to the selected problem). At the same time, the student will continue to prepare his/her dissertation during this semester. To successfully complete the course, the student is required to: - Actively present a paper at a scientific conference on a topic related to the issue treated in the dissertation and submit the paper in the form of a presentation or abstract to the supervisor (alternatively, publish an output corresponding to the topic of the paper in a professional journal or collective professional publication). - Develop and submit to the supervisor a detailed methodological framework for the dissertation, including, among other things, a definition of the objectives of the work, the process by which the objectives will be achieved, the structuring of the problems analysed and the work as a whole, the definition of the research questions and hypotheses, totaling at least 10 standard pages; and actively present a scientific paper at a scientific conference.
