We work on a critical issue of modern societies, namely Migration and Globalization. In so doing we want to contribute to a better understanding of the processes at work to promote social cohesion and wellbeing.
Our teaching and research has a focus on:
We engage in basic as well as applied research, provide scientific guidance for policy makers, business, civil society and the media. We follow an integrated approach in research and lifelong learning.
Our team covers a wide range of professional disciplines such that we may address the complexity of migration and globalization from various vantage points.
Migration is a global phenomenon that influences the health system; it raises the need for further education and training of health professionals and public health management.
We focus on the two dimensions of migration and health, the diversity management skills needed for a multicultural and multilingual workforce in the health and care services on the one hand and the diverse health care needs of an increasingly multicultural population on the other.
We provide education and training in migrant sensitive public health management and cross-cultural medical communication. We offer degree courses and training seminars, provide consulting services and engage in basic and applied research.
