Inadequate social connection is a defining challenge of our time. The Social Connection Team at the Department of Health Promotion at Maastricht University recognizes the incredible importance of social connection and social health in societal wellbeing.

We join forces from various scientific disciplines, (public) health practice, societal organization and citizens, to develop and apply knowledge for a more socially healthy society.

Here at this platform, we gladly share our teams’ activities and news. “I’m very excited to have such a dedicated and enthusiastic group of people in our team, from science and public health practice and policy, to really make a difference and take the science and practice in this field forward” (Nicole Dukers).

So please get in touch when you want to connect in research or in practice to build on a road map for how we can build more connected lives and lay out the profound impact this can have on health, educational, and economic outcomes.
