Happy Birthday Thomas!

I gave a speech, "From sociotechnical organizations to a sociotechnical society" - a summary of a joint presentation with Thomas Herrmann in 2006 - 10 years ago! And it is still up-to-date, and needed more than ever?

Approx. 60 researchers, colleagues, alumni, PhD students and friends participated - professors such as Volker Wulf, Wolfgang Prinz, Juergen Howaldt, Uwe Wilkesmann, Michael Koch, Michael Goedicke, and many more.

A special event was the meeting with Thomas' former PhD students, now professors and successful job designers themselves , see photo (from left): Dr. Kai-Uwe Loser, Dr. Thomas Herrmann, Dr. Michael Prilla, Dr. Gabriele Kunau, Dr. Marcel Hoffmann, Dr. Carsten Ritterskamp, Dr. Andrea Kienle, Dr. Natalja Menold and Dr. Isa Jahnke.
