A good life
Today, people’s well-being is threatened by issues such as access to healthcare, mental health problems, loneliness and inequality.
We work to make life in a changing world as good as it can be. Together with our partners, we develop humane solutions and services. We create smoothly running everyday life. Our contribution can be seen everywhere, from safe homes and well-being to meaningful art and culture.
A good life is one of our four strategic themes.
Key research areas
The effects of art on well-being
Mental health
Health technology
Social inclusion
Well-being at work and leadership
social and health services system
A good life is built on respect for other people and nature, and participation in the common good. We promote holistic well-being through multidisciplinary cooperation. Together we create a meaningful life for all, for example through the arts.
