Overview of projects and studies

With their results and impulses, projects from research and practice support the design and further development of the professional participation of people with disabilities.

Many universities, research institutes, rehabilitation providers, public institutions and non-profit organisations from the social and educational sectors are involved. The project landscape for vocational participation in Germany is correspondingly diverse.

We provide an overview of current, ongoing and completed projects from the subject area.
These include studies, doctoral theses, model and implementation projects, funded project series and European cooperation projects. More than 1.900 project descriptions provide information on content, contact persons, participating institutions, sponsors and project-related publications.
