Expertise, Role and Activity
The NOVA National School of Public Health, through a consolidated and diversified training offer, in close articulation with research and a strong connection to practice, has promoted the training of highly differentiated professionals. Also, the School leads and participates in competitive research projects, guided by public health current and future challenges, focused on innovation and societal impact. The current project record illustrates the multi-disciplinary of our School, with EU-funded projects related to healthcare services (inequalities in healthcare access, healthcare safety and quality, care integration, e.g.), health impact assessment (related, e.g., to climate change and health policies), and health technologies evaluation and implementation. The evidence production supports populations health and well-being and strengthen health systems, with the priority being to translate evidence into adapted and replicable solutions in real contexts.
