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.
Up to September 25, 2022, Potsdam Science Park participated in the international cycling campaign “STADTRADELN” of the Climate Alliance. Together, we got fitter, helped to make Potsdam even more climate-friendly and pedaled more than 16.000 km.

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.

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?
The Academic Sports Center is our cooperation partner for more movement at Potsdam Science Park. It offers in-person sports courses as well as OnlineFlex tickets. The offer is supplemented by on-demand sports courses as well as relaxation and nutrition podcasts.
The courses are accessible to all employees at Potsdam Science Park (status group 3). Some courses are also held in English.
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.
For the first time, the Academic Sports Center offers all online courses combined in one ticket, giving you maximum flexibility. You don’t have to commit to one course a week, but can take part in 15 sports courses at different times of the day from Monday to Saturday. Depending on what you’re in the mood for, you can either relax, mobilize or work out. So put together your own individual training plan and decide for yourself when you want to take part in which course in order to achieve your personal goals.
