Overcoming Barriers to Address Problematic Internet Use

A week full of encounters, shared ideas, and new perspectives: International cooperation took center stage as part of the British Council’s Springboard Program, “Bridging Borders.” The visit by Dr. Ana de Souza from the United Kingdom provided an opportunity for professional exchange and personal encounters across national borders.

As part of the British Council Springboard Program “Bridging Borders,” we were pleased to welcome Dr. Ana de Souza from the University of Hertfordshire to our campus in Siegen. The focus of her one-week research visit was on further developing joint research projects in the context of “addressing problematic internet use.” In particular, the implementation of paradigms and analyses in habit and EEG research related to problematic internet use provided valuable insights for future joint projects. In the true spirit of “Bridging Borders,” in addition to the academic collaboration, there was also plenty of time for social interaction during a city tour, a group dinner (see photo), and a guided tour of the Siegen FabLab.
