Four focus topics
BFH highlights the challenges of an increasingly diverse society in four focus topics. We research the social conditions that are conducive to a healthy lifestyle. Together with practitioners and users of care services, we seek technological, social and organisational innovations to promote people’s health and well-being.
Generations and old age
Factors that promote well-being and social participation for people of all ages.
Mental health and well-being
Promotion of mental health through social participation, destigmatisation and social support.
Caring Spaces
Research on how different types of space serve users while also contributing to solidarity, social inclusion and care.
Social justice, diversity and participation
Approaches to overcoming social inequalities and enhance participation in a diverse society.
