The starting point and central element of this paper are reflections from selected students representing the field of environmental sciences. Students contribute as co authors of this paper. The student co authors were asked by the lead authors to share their experiences with photography. The lead authors analysed these reflections using a grounded theory approach. On this basis, we were able to identify four key areas that are of particular importance: 1) learning, 2) skills development, 3) communication, and 4) personal development. In addition we considered the limitations and challenges in the use of photography for students, ethical aspects to be considered when using photography in the context of science and education and student advice for educators. The lead authors’ interpretation and enrichment of the student reflections led to interesting trains of thought, which are brought to light in our discussion. Our paper highlights the importance of viewing the subject of photography from diverse perspectives. By doing so, various insight and outlier perspectives emerged that were not expected. The student experiences underline the importance of the close connection between learning and emotional recall. In particular, the topic of personal development and the aspect of joy and fun in the context of photography were highlighted. It also became clear that the students' point of view emphasized the process of taking photographs and sometimes even value this process more than t he end result the actual photo. Finally, we also addressed our ethnic, cultural, and disciplinary bias and mentioned the digital divide. To sum up, the integration of technology and active participation through photography not only enriches education but also empowers students with invaluable skills that extend beyond the classroom, the lab or the field. By immersing students in visual and experiential learning, this paper advocates for a holistic approach that fosters deeper comprehension, heightened curiosity, and lifelong learning.

The authors advocate that photography is a useful tool for sustainability transfer underscoring the ways in which photography can transcends barriers in education and research communication. The paper begins by highlighting the value of photography in education and research, providing examples of its use. Light is shed on the utility of photography in report writing and scientific publications, and cautionary notes are provided on some of the limitations of photography in research. Finally, personal reflections and lessons learned along the authors own photographic journeys are shared before some closing remarks are provided. The authors do not aim to give a systematic, near comprehensive or technical overview of the various aspects of photography, instead, they provide impulses and share experiences when it comes to the application of photography in teaching and research. As a fitting tribute to the subject matter, the paper is authored by two scientists who are also passionate photographers. With this paper the authors hope to promote the responsible and ethical use of photography and to inspire others to see its value in enhancing knowledge and sustainability transfer. N2 - Dieses Diskussionspapier adressiert die vielfältigen Rollen der Fotografie in den Bereichen Wissenschaft und Bildung und würdigt die zahlreichen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Die Autoren sind überzeugt, dass Fotografie ein nützliches Instrument für Nachhaltigkeitstransferaktivitäten sein kann und wollen zeigen, wie Fotografie dabei helfen kann, etwaige Barrieren in der Bildung und Forschungskommunikation zu überwinden. Das Papier zielt zunächst auf den Wert der Fotografie für Bildung und Forschung ab und liefert verschiedene Anwendungsbeispiele. Der Wert der Fotografie bezüglich des Verfassens von Berichten und wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungen wird beleuchtet und es werden Limitationen der Anwendbarkeit der Fotografie im Zuge von Forschungstätigkeiten aufgezeigt. Abschließend werden persönliche Überlegungen und Lehren aus den eigenen fotografischen Reisen der Autoren dargelegt und Schlussbemerkungen formuliert. Ziel der Autoren ist es nicht, einen systematischen oder technischen Überblick über die verschiedenen Aspekte der Fotografie zu geben, sondern vielmehr Impulse zu liefern und Erfahrungen auszutauschen, die dabei helfen können, das Potenzial der Fotografie für Lehre und Forschung besser auszuloten. Als angemessene Hommage an das Thema wurde vorliegendes Diskussionspapier von zwei Wissenschaftlern verfasst, die auch leidenschaftliche Fotografen sind. Mit diesem Papier hoffen die Autoren, den verantwortungsvollen und ethischen Umgang mit der Fotografie zu fördern und andere dazu zu inspirieren, den Wert dieser Methode für die Verbesserung des Wissens- und Nachhaltigkeitstransfers zu erkennen.

A1 - Will, Andreas T1 - Rigor and Relevance : Enforcing dialogue between media management research and practice T2 - Diskussionspapiere Menschen, Märkte, Medien, Management N2 - There is a strong demand in media management to strengthen the bridge between theory and practice. Following the debate on rigor and relevance, the approach of engaged scholarship and arguments from our community, we see the need to develop a research agenda in dialogue with practice. Therefore, we explore the following questions: Which topics do media managers consider relevant to research? How can these issues be contrasted with the research agendas proclaimed by media management research? To answer these questions, we first summarize current issues in media management research through a literature review. Second, current issues in media management practice are captured based on an online survey with German media managers (N=46). Finally, the two perspectives are contrasted to develop relevant questions for media management research and practice.

For industrial timber, the volume is often estimated as stacked cubic meters. In addition to manual measurements, volume estimation is possible with photo-optical systems. Over 100 piles of industrial timber of broadleaved tree species were analyzed. In the study, a standard manual measurement method for the estimation of wood pile volumes was compared with a smartphone based photo-optical application for the determination of woodpile volume. Mean gross volume of the piles was approximately 56 m3 and mean width of piles was 9.43 m. A strong correlation was found between the manual measurements and the photo-optical measurement. However, volume estimation of large volume piles seems to perform better in comparison to piles with small volumes. Further research is needed to determine the effects of variables such as log quality or quality of pile on volume estimation accuracy.
