Work-Life Integration
At a time when we are all permanently interconnected digitally, the line between our working life and our private life is becoming increasingly blurred. We can find a balance when both areas of our life are flexibly interlocked with each other.
At the Potsdam Science Park, many opportunities have been created to achieve this: using your lunch break for a round of sports, meditating at the nearby lake, or calmly working because you know your child is being well taken care of at the Campus Kindergarten. For the employees at the park, such things are a matter of course.
As the network hub of all the partners at the Potsdam Science Park, we help you take good care of yourself. Because a successful work-life integration requires a strong awareness of your own personal resources.

Planetary Health Diet
Online Workshop: September 13, 2022 | 4.00 p.m. – 5.30 p.m.
Did you know that 35% of our ecological footprint comes from our diet?
For this reason, scientists have presented an eating plan that protects the health of people and the planet alike. In our online lecture, we will explain to you to what impact our eating habits have on the environment and what you can do in your everyday life to make it more sustainable.
Mental Health / Relaxation
Gesund führen: Belastungen verstehen, erkennen und handhaben
Online-Workshop for executives at Potsdam Science Park: October 25, 2022 | 9.00 a.m. – 1.00 p.m. (German)
Beanspruchung ist nicht gleich Stress!
Was für den Einen eine starke Beanspruchung ist, empfindet der Andere erst als echte Motivation. Wie unterschiedlich wird Stress also wahrgenommen und woran erkennt man, dass jemand überlastet ist?
Der Workshop hilft ein Bewusstsein für Belastung und Beanspruchung, Warnsignale und Stressfolgen bei sich selbst und bei den Mitarbeiter:innen zu entwickeln und gibt Handlungsempfehlungen und Tipps für und im Umgang mit belasteten und beanspruchten Mitarbeiter:innen.
Relaxation and immune boosting through cold exposure
Online-Workshop: November 9, 2022 | 4 p.m. – 5.30 p.m.
Already the “water doctor” Sebastian Kneipp knew about the healing effect of cold water. In this workshop, we invite you to learn about the positive influences on mental health, in addition to strengthening the immune system. For example, cold regulates the autonomic nervous system and can thus contribute to deep relaxation, improved digestion and more balance. At the same time, cold impulses bring the sleep-wake rhythm into balance.
Exciting side effect: The “courage muscle” is trained and fears are reduced.
Diversity
Inclusion Café
The inclusion team of the University of Potsdam invites you to a regular inclusion café. A monthly meeting is planned at one university location each (every 3 months in Golm). In a cozy atmosphere, people with health impairments can get into conversation with others affected. The personal exchange and the experience of others can help to better cope with barriers and problems in everyday work and private life.
Registration is requested. Internationals are welcome.
Podcasts „Wir sind UP“
With the adoption of the inclusion concept, the University of Potsdam is on its way to becoming “A University for All”. But what does it look like in concrete terms? How and what do students with disabilities experience in relation to their studies at the university and how do staff and lecturers deal with the individual needs of students?
Movement
Your moving break!
In order to counteract a lack of movement at the workplace and the associated musculoskeletal complaints, the Academic Sports Center has come up with something very special for employees: an active 15-minute online break during working hours.
