Laura Naegele received a B.A. (Sociology / Media Science) and M.A. (Sociology) degree from the University of Bochum and Free University Berlin (Germany). Since 2012 she worked in multiple research and project management positions e.g. at the Bertelsmann Foundation in Brussels, (Belgium) and Gütersloh (Germany), mainly focusing on aspects of ageing workforces, extending working lives, competence development as well as ageism in the labour market. Since 2014 she works as a researcher at the Institute for Gerontology, Department Ageing & Work (Prof. Dr. Frerich Frerichs) at the University of Vechta, Germany. In her PhD she focuses on the implementation of competence management measures for older workers within Small and Medium Sized Enterprise (SME's). In the past she has been actively involved in transferring research findings in the practice, either through giving lectures and organizing workshops or via assisting owners and management personnel directly with the development of suitable measurements for their ageing workforces. Her work has been published in several scientific and applied journals and books.
