Our student groups carry out their research in close cooperation with the experts and managers of the companies. In this process, both Turkish-German University and Passau University lecturers and our project partner ICUnet (International and Intercultural Counseling) take care of our students closely.The research results are presented to the management of the companies at the end of the project.

The research trip demonstrates, by example, how important regions, natural areas and regional institutions are for cultural and economic development. Within the scope of the trip, culturally important places, museums, monuments, architectural works, as well as agricultural and industrial zones and economic centers are visited and examined. Thus, the complex relations between regional studies and cultural sciences are examined directly on site.
