Human Health Transitions Day

During the Human Health Transitions Day, Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and the EWUU - institute 4 Preventive Health bring together researchers, educators, policymakers, societal partners and professionals to explore health as a catalyst for systems change.

We bring our transdisciplinary expertise to the forefront in the fields of human health, prevention, food, behaviour, living environments, governance and innovation. Through inspiring keynote speakers, interactive breakout sessions and cross-sector dialogue, participants will explore how knowledge can be translated into practical solutions, policy development and meaningful societal impact.

The day offers space for new perspectives, unexpected combinations of expertise and inspiring conversations that open up opportunities for collaboration and action across sectors working on health, food, behaviour, technology and the built environment.
