About us

OUR MISSION

CitieS-Health aimed to put citizens’ concerns at the heart of research agenda on environmental epidemiology by tackling health issues that concern them.

Citizens along with scientists in five cities in Europe co-designed and implemented epidemiological studies to explore how their living environment is affecting their health.

The project co-created an interactive toolkit.eu with customised tools and best practices for the replication of the studies in other locations by researchers, individuals and citizen groups.

WHO WE ARE

The project includes experts in epidemiology, citizen participation and ethics from five European countries and is coordinated by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal).
