On the background of a newly established centers for methodological research at the University of Passau, Methodikum, we present a series of brief lectures that give 15-minute introductions into various methods across disciplines. The lecture series serves to allow students and faculty members to get a brief overview on the methodological landscape at the University of Passau and to allow to establish contact among participants. The lectures start at 11:55, contrary to what the plan indicates. We kindly ask those interested in participation to enter the lecture room a bit earlier, before the lectures begin.
