Main Research Area Health and social well-being across the lifespan

The Main Research Area “Health and social well-being across the lifespan” is transdisciplinary in nature and aims to connect researchers with research interests in the field of family studies across all four faculties (Life Sciences, Natural Sciences, Humanities, Social Sciences) of Heidelberg University. Its goal is to initiate collaborative research activities in this area. During networking meetings, research questions are discussed, concrete interdisciplinary projects are developed, and potential for knowledge transfer is identified.
