Abstract: Abstract The innovation pressure as well as the huge dynamism of the working environment demand a high flexibility, autonomy and interconnection, not only of enterprise but also of employees. The meaning of the physical and mental health of employees bcomes an important factor of the innovation ability, according to the concept “only a healthy employee is an innovative employee”. Indeed, a sustainable integration of occupational security and health in operational acting can only be created by an active participation of enterprises in the development of new prevention approaches. In order to make cooperation between prevention actors (especially those of the academical field) and enterprises succeed in yielding mutual benefits a fundamental change in the comprehension of the role of entrepreneurial practice in the research process is necessary: No more research FOR practice, but research together WITH practice. That means: a strategic transfer communication concept by the use of a cooperative research design is needed. This article shows a concept that picks up on impulses especially from engineering to develop strategic transfer communication in prevention research as a contribution to innovative and competitive ability of enterprises.
