LIBC Human Potential
People aim at optimizing their health and well-being, for example by changing the way how to manage their lifestyle, and they try to maximize their current mental and physical health. The aim of this LIBC Hotspot's research is to support them in doing so by developing and evaluating strategies and procedures to increase, optimize, maintain, or regain one's mental and physical resources and performance.
Research within this research area or hotspot is conducted under the supervision of dr. Rebecca Schaefer and dr. Niels van Doesum
