I consider the link between science & practise as a stable fundament for effective training and coaching. For this reason, I am supporting the deeper exchange between scientific research and training practise. At the Department of  Community Psychology, FernUniversitaet in Hagen, we started a research project about Diversity Trainings in German speaking countries in order to support the exchange between research and practice. Here you will find the results of the first online survey we conducted in 2012:

In Mai 2106 we published a short introduction to intercultral trainings – including a discussion of the effectiveness of intercultural interventions:

 

Interkulturelle Trainings: Ein wissenschaftlich fundierter und praxisrelevanter Überblick (Sorry, only in German)

 

I also have a great interest in preparing future international working employees during their university education for successfully working in international settings. In those terms intercultural competence is a key qualification for future business. Hence, I teach intercultural management and cross cultural communication at different universities across diverse departments like business administration, tourism management and international industrial engineering.
