Welcome to our NIVA online course on

Work Disability Prevention
– Bridging research and practice

14th – 18th of June 2021, Online
This course presents “The Best Of” the highly valued 3-year course on Work Disability Prevention.
Work disability occurs when a worker is impaired in performing his or her job. Work disability is expressed by continuing working but performing less, i.e. presenteeism, or by reporting sick, i.e. absenteeism. As such, it imposes large individual, social, and economical burdens. It is also a major concern to workers, their families, employers, policy makers, insurers, and occupational health service providers.

Course objectives
The objective of the course is to disseminate transdisciplinary knowledge with focus on theoretical, methodological, ethical and practical challenges in relation to work disability prevention. The target audience is PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and practitioners with a master’s degree who are linked to the work disability field.

Main topics
Three different Work Disability Prevention topics will be addressed and integrated:
1. Introduction to Work Disability Prevention (including transdisciplinarity)
2. Intervention research in Work Disability Prevention (including organizational interventions and health promotion aiming at both individuals and workplaces)
3. Sociopolitical challenges with Work Disability Prevention (including implementation of evidence-based practice)

Course leaders
Ute Bültmann, Professor, University of Groningen, NL
Angelique de Rijk, PhD, Professor, Maastricht University, NL
Emilie Friberg, Senior Researcher, Karolinska Insitutet, SE

Registration deadline: May 10th 2021

We will do our utmost to arrange courses, even in these exceptional times. We have the readiness to arrange courses with modified concepts, allowing smaller groups to meet, in some cases national groups, and the possibility to participate on-line.

Our cancellation policy is generous, so it is safe to enroll to a course well in advance and cancel participation if the situation makes it difficult or risky to travel.
