Transdisciplinary Workplace Research (TWR) network

Employers, consultants and researchers are constantly looking for ways to better understand how work can yield optimal results in terms of performance, satisfaction, health and wellbeing. Within this quest, the awareness is growing that the place where work is carried out, plays a vital role. Social, physical, technological and managerial aspects of the workplace interact with worker behaviour and with one other. Hence, a transdisciplinary approach is required to advance our knowledge and practices. Until now, different aspects of the workplace are mostly studied within separate academic and professional fields. That is why the Transdisciplinary Workplace Research (TWR) network was initiated in 2017. Its intention is to bring together workplace researchers and professionals from all relevant disciplines to share their insights and ideas.

Nomination Immobilienmanager award

Published on april 7, 2021

The importance of the real estate industry for the overall economy is huge. Real estate shapes the image of our cities, and at the same time, everyone lives or works in a building. That’s why Immobilien Manager Verlag launched the immobilienmanager Award in 2009 to honor the best real estate projects, deals, services and minds in the real estate industry. Incidentally, the company applying does not necessarily have to be a real estate company.

The industry’s prestigious prize, sometimes named the ‘Oscar’ of German-speaking real estate, is awarded every year in 14 categories. A high-caliber, independent jury of respected real estate industry experts nominates up to three award-worthy candidates per category for the shortlist from all the applications received. The nominees in each category receive media attention from the time of the announcement, both in the run-up to the event and during the exclusive gala evening with over 400 top decision-makers from the industry – if there is no pandemic. At the awards ceremony, good nerves are then called for when the winner’s envelopes are opened on the big stage and it’s “The Winner is…”

The TWR network has applied with the TWR2020 Conference in the category ‘Communications’. The other four nominees in this category are (see here: https://www.immobilienmanager.de/imaward-2021-jurysitzung-top-5-nominiert/150/81560/)

  •     BFW Landesverband Berlin/Brandenburg: Transiträume
  •     Cushman & Wakefield: 6 Feet Office
  •     Irebs: Irebs Virtual World
  •     IPH Centermanagement: Blautal-Center Ulm

The 6 feet office concept of C&W won the award, but we are very thankful to have been nominated.
