Health!
Edition 11/2018
Health – is something we all wish to enjoy. Usually, this “greatest good” is ranked higher among the good wishes than categories such as happiness and success.Health-related research has a correspondingly high social value, whereby health research is often equated with medical science per se.However, being able to fully exploit this field of research for the benefit of mankind requires interdisciplinary collaboration In accordance with our vision of “intelligent systems for a sustainable society”, the University of Stuttgart will be focusing even more on the medically-oriented disciplines in the context of the engineering and natural sciences as well as the humanities.But,you can read about the latest fi ndings and achievements in the field of health research that our university can already pass on to society at large in this edition of forschung leben.
