Research Master in Development Studies - Developing Societies and Political Recompositions
This training offer prepares for the research professions in their diversity: doctorate, but also more operational posts (NGOs, national institutions, international) requiring a research approach. Students are considered as young researchers and are associated in this capacity with the activities of doctoral students and researchers of the UMR "Development and Societies", which is backed by training.
The M2R is renewed this year by the creation of a "Cooperative Space Development Studies" elaborated in partnership with the Master ECD (Comparative Study of Development) of the EHESS. This project is one of the winners of the 2014 call for innovative pedagogical projects launched by héSam Université. Funded by heSam, it opens a joint seminar to become a digital module, to offer grants to the field and to set up an applied methodology workshop.

The M2 Research course on "Developing societies" is devoted to the study of the relationship between development practices and policies in societies in the South. This pathway is doubly versatile. It is not only pluridisciplinary in the social sciences, which differentiates it from other formations linked to mono-disciplinary paths, but also of a comparative character. She works on African, Latin American and Asian lands and approaches the various themes in a global way, going beyond the classic North / South dichotomy.This training offer prepares for the research professions in their diversity: doctorate, but also more operational posts (NGOs, national institutions, international) requiring a research approach.

Community of Learning for Africa (CoLA)
Target group
The main aim of COLA is to build research capacity in Africa by assisting African PhD fellows locally, instead of educating a selected group of students in The Netherlands. We aim to connect to PhD fellows that are currently working on their PhD research on topics that fall within our institutional interest, and their local supervisors affiliated with universities in Africa. All participants on the platform (African PhD fellows and their supervisors) remain affiliated at their home universities, obtain their degrees from their own institution, and participate from abroad. Our platform aims to offer an additional service to both PhD student and supervisor, in the form of content training, access to resources and feedback.
The Platform
CoLA offers online training modules and online research support through our Moodle-based learning platform. The platform includes three pillars of services:
- Pillar one: Courses offering: Stand Alone and Tutored
- Pillar two: Repository of open Educational Resources
- Pillar three: Online community, with option to discuss, obtain feedback and offer support to other participants.

Security-Development-Migration Nexus
Dieses eLearning-Angebot ist das Ergebnis eines standortübergreifenden Ringseminars der Universitäten Freiburg, Tübingen, Mainz, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Marburg und Magdeburg im Sommersemester 2018, mit dem Ziel aus der Perspektive der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung Grundlagen, Akteure und Folgen diesen Nexus in neun Modulen zu erarbeiten und kritisch zu reflektieren.
Seminar für Wissenschaftliche Politik, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg
Im Zuge transnationaler Herausforderungen wie Terrorismus, Entwicklungsdefizite oder regionale Konflikte, sind Entwicklung und Sicherheit zentrale Bestandteile einer Afrikapolitik externer Akteure. Während traditionell eine starke Verbindung zwischen diesen beiden Politikfeldern, ein Nexus, besteht, der insbesondere um die Frage kreist, wie viel oder ob Sicherheit für Entwicklung notwendig ist, wird dieser Nexus seit kurzer Zeit um das Politikfeld Migration ergänzt. Die Asylkrise in der Europäischen Union hat dazu geführt, dass Afrika verstärkt aus einer Migrationsperpsektive in den Blick gerät. In diesem Zusammenhang fokussiert deutsche Außenpolitik vermehrt auf die Sahel Zone und Transitstaaten von Afrikanischer Migration, aber auch die Außenpolitik der EU oder Frankreichs weisen einen solchen Fokus auf. Diese neue Zielrichtungen generieren einen "security-development-migration nexus", indem die verschiedenen Politikfelder miteinander verwoben werden.Dieses eLearning-Angebot ist das Ergebnis eines standortübergreifenden Ringseminars der Universitäten Freiburg, Tübingen, Mainz, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Marburg und Magdeburg im Sommersemester 2018, mit dem Ziel aus der Perspektive der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung Grundlagen, Akteure und Folgen diesen Nexus in neun Modulen zu erarbeiten und kritisch zu reflektieren.
