GEfIL Independent Research Project
The GEfIL Independent Research Project forms the centerpiece of this program and focuses on critical contemporary issues in 6 large, interdisciplinary, thematic fields (e.g. sustainability, diversity, conflict prevention & peace building, global health, global governance [risk; human rights], global economy & management, global education).Students define and plan their own research projects within these fields. They are supervised by GLP and subject-specific mentors as well as by postgraduate teaching fellows. Interdisciplinary brainstorming sessions, special workshops and seminars with renowned guest speakers provide students with the opportunity to foster innovative thinking and test the practicability of their ideas. At the end of the year, students will give a (public) presentation of their projects and research outcomes.

Our colorful logo represents both our vision for the GLP GEfIL program and our aspiration that a great many students from various academic backgrounds, with critical minds and diverse capabilities will flock to our program. The image of the paper plane over the letter ‘f’ also stands for ‘flying’ and ‘future’: It refers to the potential of each and every student to soar high and make their way in(to) the world … and to do so not on prescribed routes but by determining their own, however tentative, paths. In this vision, the GLP GEfIL program may be regarded as the ‘runway’ facilitating each students’ take-off into a bright future.
