Applied research and an investigating attitude: how an Educational Programme and a Centre of Expertise link research and education for professionalization of the field

To achieve this aim the curriculum has been changed recently. A project is described in which students write their theses based on projects that stem from the field, while their findings are fed back into the curriculum.
