The people behind the projects
Our team consists of experts from medicine, psychology, health sciences, and nutrition sciences. Together, we work to translate scientific knowledge into practice – creatively, critically and with a clear goal: rethinking health in a novel and sustainable way. We believe in collaboration on equal terms, flat hierarchies, and creating spaces for new ideas. Because innovation often begins when people with diverse perspectives work together on a shared purpose.
