Caring Society
With our practice-based research we are committed to a caring society. In our various studies, we always strive to enhance the well-being of individuals with care and support needs and their family caregivers.
We work on different themes and different fronts. From loneliness, informal care, new care models to caring neighborhoods. From prevention and rehabilitation to ongoing support.
What connects our research is working together, from our different areas of expertise, to create a more caring society.
