Online-Magazine"PlanIt!"

The online journal “PlanIt!”, conceived by Prof. Pallagst, publishes selected student theses supervised at the IPS department (diploma, bachelor's, master's) in the form of articles on specific topics. This gives students the opportunity to make their thesis, usually in English, accessible to a broad specialist audience in articles of approximately 15 pages each and to produce their first publication.

 

To select the title of the journal, students in the RU department were able to vote online for their favorite title from three suggestions.

The individual issues bundle thematically similar theses from recent years into thematic issues with varying focal points.
