Mission and organization of SHARE

Mission:

The mission of the Graduate School for Health Research SHARE is to elucidate factors related to health, notably healthy ageing. This is achieved by research on determinants and consequences of ageing, incident disease, quality of life, care and cure, as well as by training researchers in the area of health research.

 

Organization:

 SHARE consists of three elements:

1. SHARE Research, an institute made up of 160 researchers based primarily in the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). 
2. A two-year Research Master Clinical and Psychosocial Epidemiology, that started in September 2007 with a small group of students and is run by the departments of Epidemiology, Health Sciences (sections Health Psychology and Public Health) and Social Psychiatry. Click here to watch three short movies of our current PhD students!
3. A PhD educational program for all PhD students conducting research within SHARE, i.e. for all AIOs, Dutch PhD students, foreign scholarship PhD students, clinicians and 'external' PhD students. The aim is to conduct research and to support the PhD process with tailored modules and skills training.
