The main purpose of this project is to reduce the amount of stress through self-inducted or external time and performance pressure.  For this purpose, the project coordinators Prof. Dr. Dr. Hacker (Arbeitsgruppe “Wissen-Denken-Handeln”) and Prof. Dr. T.

To promote the transfer of knowledge within the higher-level research field "Arbeit in der digitalisierten Welt" of the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research), representatives of two other projects were invited to this year's meeting, Mr. Grömar and Ms. Bernardy.
