Seminar topics are usually related to the field of operations research and logistics. Up to twelve students can be admitted to a seminar or proseminar. At the beginning of each seminar there is an introduction to scientific work and presentation. The basics of writing a seminar paper (research, time management, outline, scope, formatting, citation) and presenting (structure of a presentation, visualization, body language, speaking style, feedback) are covered.
