Our interdisciplinary priority
Health and living conditions
Societal challenges cross borders, and a changing world demands innovation. UiA is committed to interdisciplinary efforts to find sustainable solutions.
The concept of public health encompasses an interdisciplinary perspective on health and living conditions. At the University of Agder, we have a strong commitment to public health and the various forms of knowledge and expertise required to establish and enhance the overall health status of society. Through an interdisciplinary perspective on health and living conditions, we aim to contribute to the improvement of public health in collaboration with both public and private stakeholders in the field.
