FSW Health & Well-being Lunch meetings
During the Health & Well-being Lunch meetings, 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.
