University Research Centre: Health and Society

The University Research Centre (URC) Health and Society aims to network and coordinate human science research within its areas of specialisation at the University of Lucerne.

In addition to developing and supporting research initiatives, the URC seeks to enhance collaboration with other universities and research institutions in Switzerland and abroad. A first project of this kind is the Lucerne Initiative for Functioning, Health and Well-being (LIFE).

The URC Health and Society, currently in its establishment phase, will encompass the institutes, centres and professorships active in its focus area. An externally funded institute may also be affiliated with the URC.
