Profi 8 launch event: How can we improve safety, health, and the environment in a changing world?

Join us as we unveil three cutting-edge research themes:

• SafeEarth – Natural and humanmade risks and societies’ responses
  SafeEarth investigates both natural and human-made risks, from cybersecurity and space threats to societal resilience.
• Health Dimensions – Multidimensional big data and life-course health: from molecules to society
  This programme explores the causes of multimorbidity and the potential of big data to transform health and social care systems.
• SAFIRE – Safeguarding biodiversity through interdisciplinary research on habitat restoration
  SAFIRE aims to restore degraded Arctic habitats using inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to ensure research that is both just and actionable.
