Like many areas, research, science and teaching are determined by collaboration and cooperation in interdisciplinary and increasingly intercultural teams. Almost in contrast to this is the strong personalised assessment of performance in the academic world.

This observation gives rise to questions such as:

• What specific problems are there in your work contexts? You are welcome to let us know in advance.
• How could the strong focus on individuals in university organisations be broken up? What needs to change?
• Do our students acquire sufficient skills in the areas of intercultural and interdisciplinary teamwork? And what skills would these be?
• How do we ensure mental health in the team?
• Are relevant criteria sufficiently prioritised in the academic world, e.g. in the selection of professors or in the promotion of young academics?
• What services could help our university (infrastructure such as rooms, technology, teaching programmes, continuing education, research in the field)?
• Which tools work well? What can universities learn from business or other sectors?

We would like to discuss this topic in a workshop discussion with representatives from business and society and, of course, from our university, be inspired by short impulses and develop ideas in an open discussion and also derive concrete recommendations for action – either for our personal working environment or for TU Darmstadt.
