FSW Health & Well-being Lunchmeetings
Join us at the next FSW Health & Well-being Lunchmeeting in september!
How do we determine whether preventive interventions for health and well-being are effective when traditional randomized controlled trials are not feasible or ethically desirable?
Join us for this lunch meeting featuring methodological experts to show alternative approaches to assess treatment effectiveness and to explore (new) approaches to generate “fit-for-purpose” evidence.
This meeting was plannend for 25 June, but is postphoned until September 2026. More information will follow.
About
During the Health & Well-being Lunchmeetings, researchers and interested colleagues can meet in an informal setting.
Speakers from different institutes present their work in relation to a specific topic that is connected to the overarching FSW theme Health and wellbeing in a healthy society.
With this interdisciplinary approach you get to know varying standpoints and methods, gain new perspectives and broaden your network.

Do you want to present your own research next? Please, contact the Health and Well-being Core team at fswhealthysociety@fsw.leidenuniv.nl.
