Task:

We are delighted to be able to carry out this project this semester together with Merck's CREM and HR teams and JLL's Workplace Consulting team. Together with the other students and experts, you will have the opportunity to explore the design of working environments using the Merck campus as an example and examine their impact on employees' work-life blending.

Students work on an interdisciplinary task in small groups as part of the project event. Working in teams, the students contribute to the multidisciplinary problem solution from their respective subject perspectives. The content of the task is announced at the start of the project. The project is supported by trained supervisors who promote professional and social learning.

All Bachelor's students in the Industrial Engineering and Management and Business Informatics degree programs can participate. For successful participation, 3 CPs are awarded in the elective area.

To participate in the Interdisciplinary Project, it is mandatory to register for the course via TUCaN. Registration is generally possible up to one month before the start of the project. More detailed information will be added here at a later date.

Continuous and active group work is required throughout the entire project week.
