Tag der offenen Tür am Kompetenzzentrum für Gebärdensprache und Gestik (29.09.2025)
Am 29.09.2025 lud unser Projektpartner SignGes zum Tag der offenen Tür ein. Nach der Begrüßung durch den geschäftsführenden Direktor Prof. Dr. Dr. Klaus Mathiak und dem Grußwort unserer Prorektorin Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Sabine Brück‑Dürkop erhielten die Teilnehmenden Einblicke in aktuelle Projekte: Im Foyer der 2. Etage konnten sich Besucher:innen an Posterständen über die Projekte von SignGes informieren. Das LuF Gesundheitspsychologie betreute den Stand des gemeinsamen Projekts TEBEK (Testverfahren zur Beurteilung berufsrelevanter Kompetenzen tauber und schwerhöriger Menschen). Workshops zur Deutschen Gebärdensprache und zu Haptic Body Signs sowie der Gastvortrag von Prof. Dr. Wyatte C. Hall (University of Rochester, USA) zu „New Research on Language Deprivation“ rundeten den spannenden und eindrucksvollen Nachmittag ab.
60. Jahrestagung der DGSMP an der Charité in Berlin
Das LuF Gesundheitspsychologie war durch Ann-Kathrin Grotenburg auf der 60. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Sozialmedizin und Prävention (DGSMP) zum Thema „Teilhabe und Ko-Kreation“ vertreten. Der Kongress tagte vom 17. Bis zum 19. September am Charité Klinikum Virchow im Westen Berlins. Ann-Kathrin Grotenburg durfte Ergebnisse aus Ihrem Promotionsvorhaben zum Thema Aufsuchen professioneller Hilfe durch Männer mit Depressionen am Mittwochnachmittag in der Session „Gesundheitliche Risiken und Ressourcen“ als Vortrag präsentieren.

Teilnahme an der Leibniz ScienceCampus DiPH Summer School @UBremen
Vom 18. bis zum 22. August hatte Ann-Kathrin Grotenburg vom LuF Gesundheitspsychologie die tolle Gelegenheit an der Summer School des Leibniz ScienceCampus zum Thema Digital Public Health in Bremen teilzunehmen. Die Veranstaltung bot zahlreiche informative Vorträge und Seminare, geleitet von Expertinnen und Experten des Leibniz-Instituts für Präventionsforschung und Epidemiologie (BIPS), der Universität Bremen sowie weiteren Institutionen wie der Berliner Charité oder auch der Universität Potsdam. In den fünf Tagen wurden unterschiedlichste Fachbereiche, wie z.B. Implementation Science, digitale Epidemiologie, adaptive statistische Methoden, Logikmodelle und das Design digitaler Interventionen behandelt. Neben den Frontalvorträgen waren all diese Themen stets direkt praktisch im Rahmen von in Kleingruppen erarbeiteten Case Studies anzuwenden.
Die Gruppe setzte sich aus einer höchst internationalen Gruppe junger Forschender und Fachkräften unterschiedlichster Disziplinen zusammen – darunter Physiotherapie, Medizin, Pflegewissenschaften, Biomedizintechnik, Data Science, Gesundheitsökonomie und Psychologie. Die Teilnehmenden kamen hierfür u.a. aus Australien, Nepal, Pakistan, Kenia, England, Spanien, Polen, Mexiko und Chile nach Bremen. Abends bot das lokale Team vielfältige Angebote um sowohl Bremen sowie die übrigen Teilnehmenden und Dozierenden in einem ungezwungenen Setting besser kennen zu lernen.
Ein herzlicher Dank soll sich an dieser Stelle auch nochmals an alle Organisator:innen der Summer School rund um Dr. Laura Maaß richten – es war eine wirklich schöne und lehrreiche Woche!

A-Dok 2025
The 15th A-Dok Conference, organized by Anton Koger, Matilde Simonetti, and Luigi Falanga, was held in Aachen from May 25th to 27th. As an annual gathering for early-career researchers in Germany, A-Dok has long been a hub for scientific exchange in the fields of experimental and cognitive psychology.
This year’s multidisciplinary program featured exciting talks, posters, and discussions on topics ranging from language and cognitive control to decision-making and perception-action dynamics. In addition to engaging talks, poster sessions, and interactive discussions, a particular highlight were the keynote lectures by Dr. Yuranny Cabral-Calderin and Dr. Fritz Günther, who shared their international research experiences and offered valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges of academic life abroad.
Beyond the scientific sessions, the event included various networking and social activities, emphasizing the importance of building peer connections within the academic community.
A-Dok 2025 underscored the crucial role of equality, interdisciplinarity, and international exchange within cognitive psychology. The conference fostered an inclusive atmosphere in which early-career researchers could develop a professional network and explore new ideas and frontiers.
