Welcome to the Center for Social Skills (CeSoS)

Social skills are key qualifications for a fulfilling and successful life. But what exactly are social skills? How can they be assessed and developed? And which social skills are particularly relevant in certain professions?

The Center for Social Skills (CeSoS) deals with these and other questions in the areas of research, training and transfer.

In current projects and collaborations, we are focusing on the further development of social skills in aspiring medical professionals and psychotherapists.
