SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION

We invite you to collaborate with us — we offer access to our laboratory infrastructure, participant database, and well-established methodological expertise.

Research Infrastructure

Work&Tech Psych Lab is equipped with a fully furnished experimental space, enabling both individual and group research. The laboratory is open to collaboration with research teams interested in conducting joint scientific projects.

10 research workstations

The laboratory offers a flexible research space that can be configured as up to 10 computer workstations for group studies, or 4 dual-monitor workstations designed for more complex experiments requiring an extended research interface.

Cognitive performance measurement equipment

We have equipment enabling psychomotor and cognitive research, including measurement of reaction time, attention, and other executive functions.

Humanoid robot

The laboratory is in the process of acquiring a high-end humanoid robot for research on human-machine interaction in a work environment. Expected purchase date: Q3 2026.

Participants database

We have access to a participant database — including both students and professionals from various sectors — enabling efficient recruitment for on-site and online studies.

Proven methodological toolkit

We offer methodological support and access to tools we actively develop and use: R, PsychoPy, LimeSurvey, Calendly, and OSF — from study design, through data collection, to archiving in line with open science requirements.
