Collaborative Research Centre SHARP (TRR419)

Many professional fields such as school teaching and medical practice increasingly call for skills such as collaborative diagnostics and complex problem-solving. The Collaborative Research Centre SHARP investigates how simulations can be designed to systematically foster these skills. The overarching goal of SHARP is to contribute to theory-building on personalising learning using simulations in higher education. As a joint research context, SHARP focuses on diagnosing and intervening as two highly relevant professional practices in many academic professions. Researchers from psychology, educational science, and subject-matter teaching and learning in medicine, biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics at LMU, TUM, the University of Augsburg and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) will engage in research based on a joint conceptual framework and a set of overarching research questions.
