Cognitive Science

Psychologielabor

The Cognitive Science Cluster offers a platform for all researchers who are interdisciplinary interested in structures and processes of information processing. Members of the cluster successfully publish their research results. The cluster also facilitates cooperation with other institutions. Thus, there is a close relationship with the Medical School Hamburg. Joint scientific publications in renowned specialist bodies and joint research funding bear witness to this. The cluster thus addresses all researchers who feel committed to the information processing approach in describing, explaining and predicting experience and behaviour in research and application. For example, socially cognitive determinants of experience and behaviour in organisations with regard to leadership, commitment and health are part of the object of research. Many research questions cannot be approached in a well-founded manner without well-founded interdisciplinary cooperation.

OPAL – Organization, Personnel, Work and Leadership

OPAL Logo

The transformations of our society, which are taking place on the basis of advancing digitalization and globalization, are changing not only the classical institutions, but also the ways of organization and work in an increasingly delimited world. The social, political and economic questions that arise in the course of these changes for the areas of organisation, personnel, work and leadership are dealt with empirically and theoretically in the interdisciplinary working context OPAL. The OPAL cluster is currently in the start-up phase. The aim is to bundle the diverse approaches and research that exist at Helmut Schmidt University in this field, to make them visible and to advance them within the framework of future coordinated joint projects.
