Annual Overview 2021

2021 will also go into the books as a corona year. A year with two faces for the Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health. The uncertainty about long-term work and living with corona has left no one untouched. The physical contact between researchers, We are Aletta teachers and professionals in the AJSPH community was sorely missed, despite a few weeks without a lockdown. At the same time, this annual overview proves that despite this lack, a great deal has turned out to be possible. It shows that we as School of Public Health have made a substantial and relevant contribution to the academic and social corona debate. And it shows that we are resilient enough to make an impact in other ways along the five pillars of the AJSPH, namely Research, Education, Innovation, Public Engagement and Internationalization.

The selection of the 2021 annual overview was therefore still quite a task. That makes us both proud and grateful. Both radiate to the AJSPH network. Because the success of the AJSPH is a direct result of everyone's involvement, creativity and enthusiasm. We sincerely hope to continue to experience that energy in the new year as we move closer to our mission of more healthy years.
