Professional participation and inclusion

The CC has a high level of expertise in the field of participation in working life, analyses key issues in the context and provides them for different target groups in a practical way.

Content element with id 11119

Its mission is to promote participation and inclusion in economic and social policies.

As part of the scientific community, the CC is networked nationally and internationally and is in regular exchange with key stakeholders from civil society, business and politics.

Surveys and usability tests with target groups (employers, employees with disabilities or chronic illnesses, consulting institutions) are also part of the activities and incorporated into the studies, publications and information offered by the CC.

The CC sees the economic potential of equal participation of all people, raises awareness of barrier-free access to information, communication and digitization, and consistently considers the topic of participation in working life in its offers and research projects.

Information and services of the CC are available at www.rehadat.de and www.iw-elan.de.
