Occupational Health Management
“Protecting and promoting health. With a wide range of expertise, we support, mediate and advise according to high quality standards at all levels of KIT.”
- Network Health
The Health Network sees itself as a platform for stakeholders at KIT dedicated to the health-related needs of employees and apprentices. The network is supported by the statutory accident insurance and health insurance providers. KIT’s Occupational Health Management (OHM) provides support at all levels—from preventive individual measures to tailored processes for the various organisational units. We continuously review and further develop our services.
Here you will find an overview of the current health measures, services, analysis tools, evaluations, and options for process support.
On 1 July 2026, the Network Health at Campus North hosted its Bike to Work Action Day. Between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., numerous employees took the opportunity to explore a range of activities, including bike fitting, EMG muscle measurements, and other interactive stations, while learning more about healthy and safe cycling.
The event highlighted the importance of active mobility and health promotion at KIT.

Healthy Living and Cancer Prevention: The possibilities and limitations of a healthy
lifestyle with a welcome adress by VP Dr. Stefan Schwartze
When: Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. – online
Speaker: Dr. Ursula Will, Medical Director of the Prevention Clinic at the National
Center for Cancer Prevention in Heidelberg
Cancer affects us all. In Germany, approximately 500,000 people are newly diagnosed
with cancer each year, about one-third of whom are of working age. The good news:
Based on current knowledge, about half of all cancer cases can be prevented through
personal preventive measures - that is, by adopting an appropriate lifestyle.
The speaker will guide you through the European Code Against Cancer and show you
what you can do yourself to reduce your personal risk of cancer. The presentation
marks the start of a two-year workplace cancer prevention program.
