On September 18 and 19, 2020, BIBA hosted this year's research seminar of the Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Arbeits- und Betriebsorganisation (WGAB). The focus was on the topic "Human-Technology Interaction in the Digitalized Work Environment". Despite corona-related travel restrictions, many WGAB members were able to attend the seminar. Although the scientific exchange took place with some distance, it was no less stimulating and intensive. The following topics were discussed: Digital planning of hybrid work systems, potentials of human-robot collaboration, digital twin for human-technology interaction and last but not least home office before, during and after the corona crisis.

During the seminar, three new members, including the host Prof. Michael Freitag, were accepted as members of the WGAB. Furthermore, Dr. Birgit von See was awarded the WGAB dissertation prize by the TU Hamburg-Harburg for her work "A Framework for Action for the Digital Transformation of Value Networks". Dennis Keiser from BIBA accepted a prize for "Concept and Evaluation Parameters for Gamification in Manual Assembly" as the best employee contribution. A guided tour in the BIBA research hall completed the program. The proceedings of the WGAB research seminar are published by Gito-Verlag Gito-Verlag: DOI
