Lebensabschnittsübergänge: Wie erleben junge Menschen den Übergang von der weiterführenden Schule zur Hochschule?

In the organizer's words:

The transition from secondary school to higher education (and beyond) is an important milestone for young people as it impacts both individual lives and society as a whole, for example by providing a workforce with the necessary skills.

Based on her interdisciplinary research in several countries such as Germany and Chile, Professor Dr. Céline Rojon from CBS International Business School explains at "Wissenschaft im Rathaus" which personal and familial, social and cultural factors can facilitate the transition from secondary school to university, e.g. support from family and friends, or make it more difficult, such as having too high expectations of oneself.

Dr. Céline Rojon ...

... is Professor of Business Psychology at the CBS International Business School. The focus of her work - both in research and teaching as well as consulting - is on topics such as personnel selection and development, performance management, leadership, research methods and intercultural studies (e.g. transitions between life stages).

Science in the town hall

On (almost) every first Monday of the month, Cologne residents can take a look at the latest research findings, as researchers report on their specialist areas in a vivid way in the town hall.

The citizen-oriented presentations in the town hall show the diverse and different approaches to research as well as the individual perspectives of Cologne's research landscape. A great opportunity to ask questions and talk to the experts and other participants!
