With the current research programme 2014 - 2017, the focus of the previous R & D programme 2010 - 2013 will continue, but will be partly redesigned and supplemented by new topics. There is a content-wise continuity, in particular, of long-term research on the health risks of new technologies, the psychological stress in the working world and their impact on mental health and performance, and the prevention of work-related diseases of the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system.
