Our project team spent this year's retreat in snowy Schwelm. Over the three days, the meeting focussed on data analysis and the writing of publications.

The RuhrNetwork was also represented at this year's Addiction Congress in Berlin and presented the results of a systematic meta-review of the research group on "Functional digital media use in children and adolescents".

The entire project team spent three successful workshop days with the best view in Haltern am See. They worked on the concept for the planned funding applications, finalized a current study, and developed a questionnaire to assess the degree of functional use of digital media.

From 07 - 09 September 2022, the German Addiction Congress took place in Munich, where the RuhrNetwork for Functional Digital Media-Use in Children and Adolescents was also represented with its own presentations. Exciting discussions emerged through the presentations and stimulated collaborative exchanges between research and clinical scientists.
