New at the university: Prof. Niermann

Osnabrück University welcomes Prof. Dr. Christina Niermann! Since April 1, she has held the professorship for sports science with a focus on health education.

In her research, Prof. Niermann deals with the question of how physical activity behavior - especially among children and adolescents - can be specifically promoted in order to strengthen their mental, social and physical health. She investigates which individual and environmental factors influence behavior in everyday life and how these can be changed. She is particularly interested in translating scientific findings into practical measures that can be implemented in real-life environments and contribute to greater health-related Social Equity. A warm welcome!
