Institute for Urban Public Health
The 'Centre for Urban Epidemiology' (CUE) became the Institute for Urban Public Health (InUPH) on 01.05.2020. The support of the Fritz and Hildegard Berg-Stiftung has made it possible to establish the Institute, whose overarching goal is to investigate scientific questions for an evidence-based, participatory design of a health-promoting and sustainable urban Environment.
Funding
The Centre for Urban Epidemiology (CUE) was successful in the two-stage selection procedure for the Fritz und Hildegard Berg Stiftung's call "City of the Future – Healthy, sustainable metropolises: New Ways to improve the Dialogue between Science and Civil Society". The funds will be used to support the establishment of a new institute at the Medical Faculty in Essen, which will specifically address the inter- and transdisciplinary tasks for the innovative field of Urban Public Health.
