Merry and Peaceful Christmas

Dear project partners,
When we look back at 2024, the first thing that dominates is the feeling that it was marked by a few personal tragedies: among project partners, in the families of our employees and by the – untimely – passing of our institute's founder and long-standing director, Prof. Dr. Klaus J. Zink, who shaped us and the institute for decades.
At the same time, we have been able to achieve remarkable results together with you in numerous research and implementation projects, events and initiatives, through sometimes long-standing relationships and partnerships. As a result, we feel well prepared for the future. And for that, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to you today!
We are now looking forward to 2025 with great anticipation, because two highlights await us and you there:
  • On the one hand, we are moving into new premises, namely into the 42Kaiserslautern, a meeting place for citizens and the scientific community, in the heart of Kaiserslautern.
  • And on the other hand, due to our 30th ITA anniversary we announced 2025 as the Year of Labour Research, Ergonomics and Human Factors and will be filling it with exciting information on our subject areas via a wide range of information channels – so stay tuned!
With best wishes for a peaceful and restful festive season and a healthy, successful and happy New Year!
Your ITA Team

The year that is now drawing to a close has been a great challenge for us all. However, when we look back, it also becomes clear what remarkable achievements we have made together. We are grateful for this. With this in mind, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas, a peaceful holiday season and a good start to the new year.
