The European Health Psychology Society (EHPS) has named Prof. Dr. Benjamin Schüz a Fellow at its conference in Cascais, Portugal. This award recognizes his outstanding scientific contributions to health psychology and his extraordinary commitment to the society.
The Fellowship of the EHPS is considered one of the highest honors in the field of European health psychology and is only awarded to scientists who have distinguished themselves through excellent research achievements and significant contributions to the development of the field.
Prof. Schüz's research focuses on three central questions: the causes of social differences in health behavior, their influence on health inequalities and the identification of psychosocial factors that can contribute to reducing these differences. In his work, he combines innovative methodological approaches, including qualitative and quantitative methods, ecological momentary assessment and digital health interventions.
His application-oriented research is particularly aimed at optimizing digital tools for behavior change and improving health care. The scientific excellence of his work is reflected in over 120 peer-reviewed publications, numerous book contributions and continuous funding through national and international third-party funding.
Prof. Schüz has been closely associated with the EHPS since his first participation as a Master's student in 2004.
He has been involved in various functions, including the CREATE and SYNERGY committees, as German national delegate, as secretary of the EHPS Executive Committee and as local organizer of the EHPS Conference 2023 in Bremen.
The appointment as Fellow underlines not only his scientific expertise, but also his long-standing commitment to the further development of health psychology in Europe.
