The Institute is based at the Department of Health Studies. Research is carried out in multidisciplinary collaboration with other institutes of the Department. The individual degree programmes and institutes focus on topics including obesity, exercise, healthy ageing and health literacy. We operate a state-of-the-art Health Perception Lab (HPL)<\/strong> for applied sensory research, which is unique in Austria. The focus is on sustainable health promotion, prevention and therapy.<\/p>\n

The Department has forged networks with relevant stakeholders in the health sector as a contribution to achieving health objectives in Styria and to gain visibility at national and international level. <\/p>\n
