AOS media department

The AOS media department creates articles on occupational science related to current issues and shares them on the various social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) and the AOS homepage. Through these contributions, an understanding of the connection between occupation, health and well-being is created. Occupational therapists and occupational scientists are thereby sensitized on an (inter)national level to occupational science topics, such as occupational justice, occupational balance and occupational disruption. During this term of office (2023-2025), the AOS media department will primarily focus on an interdisciplinary exchange of information and ideas between occupational scientists and members of other disciplines in Austria with the aim of community building.

  • Creation of a media strategy per quarter

  • Creation and publication of articles and graphics on (social) media
