The concept of individualisation in changing environments

InChangE Workshop

Participants of the joint project InChangE met for a workshop on Thursday, 13 January 2022, to exchange views on how "individualisation" is understood and interpreted in different scientific disciplines.

The event was organised by the project members Prof. Dr. Marie Kaiser and Prof. Dr. Annette Malsch and took place in a hybrid format: Some participants came together in Building X at Bielefeld University, observing current safety regulations, while others joined virtually.

During the workshop, speakers from various disciplines provided insightful insights into the understanding of the concept of individualisation in their respective fields - including biology, philosophy, psychology, health sciences, sociology, economics, medicine and psychiatry. In addition, detailed discussions focused on the differences and similarities in the understanding of the term between the different disciplines.
