Prof. Dr. Leimeister and Dr. Peters at the final "Work 4.0" conference in Berlin

On November 29, 2016, the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS) held its final Work 4.0 conference in Berlin. The focus of this event, which marked the conclusion of a one-and-a-half-year dialog process initiated by Federal Minister Andrea Nahles (MdB) with citizens as well as employers' associations, trade unions, politicians and academics, was the presentation of the White Paper "Working 4.0". This white paper contains the conclusions of this dialog process and options for shaping the working world of the future.

The Department of Information Systems at the University of Kassel has made an intensive contribution to the dialogue process with its expertise in this area. Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister, holder of the Chair of Information Systems and Director of the Scientific Centre for IT Design at the University of Kassel, has been a member of the "Digital Work Platform" appointed by Federal Minister Nahles since the beginning. Dr. Christoph Peters, research group and project leader at the Department of Information Systems at the University of Kassel, was a participant in both focus groups of this initiative. The White Paper "Work 4.0" can be viewed here.
