Expert network

The Expert Network brings together researchers affiliated with the Centre of Expertise Social Sciences, Health and Wellbeing (CESSHW) who have specific expertise in one or more areas relevant to the centre’s mission and activities.

The network serves as a platform to connect researchers, students, professionals, policymakers, and societal partners with expertise available within the faculty and its wider network. Members of the Expert Network contribute knowledge and experience on a broad range of topics and are available for collaboration, consultation, guest lectures, supervision, media requests, research partnerships, and societal engagement activities.

The expert profiles provide an overview of each researcher’s areas of expertise, current interests, and contact details. Whether you are looking for a collaborator, a speaker, a supervisor, or simply someone to exchange ideas with, the Expert Network offers an accessible way to identify and connect with researchers working on topics relevant to your interests.

By making expertise visible and accessible, the Expert Network aims to stimulate collaboration, strengthen knowledge exchange, and foster connections between science and society.
