We focus on strategic clusters that mirror the priorities of the European Union
An Economy that works for people (Economy); the European Green Deal (Environment); a Europe fit for the Digital Age (Digital), underpinned by Promoting the European Way of Life (Health & Well-being).


New ways of defining economic and societal well-being goals are emerging
The old GDP-centric model is giving way to approaches that place human and environmental well-being at the heart of government policy.
The Sustainable Development Goals are a crucial example of this, as is the growing emphasis on the need to ensure ‘inclusive growth’ and reduced inequalities. If the EU is to respond to the needs and concerns of its citizens, it is vital that the new European institutions should embrace the paradigm shift. Citizens’ well-being must be at the centreof EU policies.
All Policies for a Healthy Europe champions a broader vision:
One which takes seriously Europe’s role in addressing the multi-dimensional determinants of health and well-being – economic, social, environmental, commercial and political.
