EcoHealth
Our focus
We focus on two of the most cross-cutting global challenges, urbanisation and climate change, and their impact on health.
Our objectives
EcoHealth's efforts are driven by the following key objectives:
To understand and improve health by applying a whole system approach to complex health challenges
To develop interdisciplinary research lines on select cross-cutting themes that are in line with ITM’s mission and strengths
To explore and develop innovative research methodologies to study the interactions between nature, society and health
To disseminate knowledge and promote understanding of EcoHealth by postgraduate training, scientific publications, conference presentations and seminars.
EcoHealth seminars
We currently organise a series of seminars on EcoHealth concepts and whole systems approaches to health, in relation to important global health challenges, such as global warming, urbanisation, emerging diseases, among others.
Speakers from all over the world illustrate how and why systems approaches can be applied to better understand these challenges, analyse their root causes and interactions, and develop solutions.
