Transcampus Project with King's College London: "Wellbeing and Resilience Competency Development"

The project aims to establish an international interdisciplinary collaboration between Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) and King's College London (KCL) on the topics of wellbeing and resilience competency development. Our project’s goals are twofold: to provide in-depth research-based insights into the development of resilience as a competency for current and future professionals and to adapt and develop novel learning approaches that can be used as interventions to promote and enhance both competency and wellbeing among different students of different subjects and in different settings (e.g., face to face and online settings). In this sense, we aim to bridge research on education, learning, psychology and neuroscience to strengthen our interdisciplinary research cooperation and to provide young researchers and students with opportunities for exchange in both academia and research.

Our project will commence with research on implementing a collaborative teaching programme focused on developing competency in resilience and wellbeing. Due to current challenges and social distancing urged by COVID-19, our partner at KCL designed a novel online coaching programme, titled “Time to Thrive”, which we plan to offer to university students at TUD. The project’s results will be examined and evaluated by the international research group, including students in both institutions.

The research group also plans to enhance cooperation on additional related topics with other partners within our universities.
