How Can We Shape the Future World of Work to Increase Effectiveness and Well-Being?

Today's working world is ever changing. 

We face multiple social and global challenges that have far-reaching consequences for individuals, teams, and organizations as a whole and require adaptivity, smart solutions, and a new mindset.

•research-based
•transdisciplinary,
•socially oriented, and
•multimodal.
