Our mission is lifelong participation, for everyone, everywhere
Mission and goals
Participation in society is important to everyone. It provides purpose in life, structure and social contacts, it is linked to a better health and quality of life, and often delivers an income.
Our aim is to perform research aimed at improving societal participation and to prevent early exit from the societal participation. Special focus in our research is on vulnerable groups including groups with disabilities, chronic diseases, chronic health complaints or a low-socio economic position, workers with an occupational disease or other complex work-related health issues, and older workers.
Societal participation is defined as the opportunity for individuals to optimally participate in as many social roles as desired. The program does not only focus on paid work, but also on voluntary work, informal care giving, digital participation, and other forms of societal participation. We therefore study all forms of societal participation and their determinants. We develop and evaluate interventions to promote societal participation, such as to enhance stay at work or return to work, to prevent exit from work, and to stimulate voluntary work, informal care giving and digital participation.
We further aim to improve preventive and medical assessments in the occupational context, improve employee health guidance, study the aetiology and prevention of work-related disorders and occupational diseases, and promote health behaviours of workers. Finally, we study the (multidisciplinary) medical care focussed at work issues, provided by medical specialists, general physicians, occupational and insurance physicians.
Social impact and scientific quality are fundamental to the Societal Participation and Health program. We therefore actively pursue partnership with other programs, faculties, stakeholders and experts in multidisciplinary collaboration.
