Health

Health is considered a high, sometimes even the highest good and concerns us all. Many factors contribute to people staying healthy, becoming healthy or coping well with health limitations. A healthy environment is the basis of our existence. An efficient health system offers all citizens health care that meets their needs. Science and industry are challenged to generate new knowledge for a healthy life.

Equity, personal responsibility and financing are among the most important questions that society must face here.

"Nothing in the history of life is so constant as change", said Charles Darwin.

Here, the life sciences with their multitude of disciplines are also in demand in cooperation with others: it is about new medicines, gentle and efficient technologies and about protecting biological diversity.

Advising, Analysing, Organising, Promoting

Health is one of our core topics. We advise stakeholders from health care and nursing, politics and industry. Drug discovery, medical and nursing technologies, health care and public health form the major lines of our work. We support the preparation of broad-based funding programmes as well as focused individual projects. We analyse medical needs, care processes and value chains and bring experts together – even across disciplinary and institutional boundaries.
