The European University for wellbeing (EUniWell) project, which brings together the universities of Florence, Birmingham (United Kingdom), Cologne (Germany) Leiden (Holland), Linnaeus (Sweden), Nantes (France) and Semmelweis, (Hungary) and 102 partners from the world of institutions and businesses, from the seven European countries where universities are located, has started.
The website of EUniWell is online. There you will be able to find detailed info on the project.
Inside there is also a blog in which the university and student communities of the seven universities share perspectives on the well-being and the situation of the coronavirus.
“EUniWell represents a concrete response for the promotion of well-being rooted in the skills developed through research, constant teaching commitment and civic involvement. We want to trigger a significant and sustainable change for our students, our communities, our staff as well as for institutions,” explains Giorgia Giovannetti, Vice-president for International Relations of the University of Florence.
“The challenges that the Covid-19 pandemic poses to well-being make EUniWell’s mission, which is to understand, improve, measure and rebalance the well-being of individuals, communities and society much more urgent,” adds Giovannetti. “The coronavirus requires to rethink well-being from multiple points of view, facing the new challenges that our world, globalized and connected, is posing to us. By combining the strengths, the different and complementary skills and the vast experience of the partner universities, the EUniWell network of experts is already working to find tangible and feasible solutions.”
