Passionate about public health, social justice, wellbeing & equity. Experienced in systems approaches. Connecting the SDH dots. Committed to shaping impact policies for a healthier, more equitable future, w/ WHO Europe.
Very very few voices representing health (glad to see European Patients' Forum & EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe though), and missed opportunity to gain and include insights from underrepresented, marginalised communities, #socialrights, wider #publichealth, #healthinequities, #wellbeing CSOs stakeholders or institutions dealing with health on a daily basis. Could not agree more with saying that we need new solutions to address the challenges we all - regardless of where we sit on the social ladder - face. Lived experience of communities and populations left behind, looking at competitiveness and boosting innovation via multiple angles including human and social capital, health, equity and well-being of today's and future generations are central part of how prosperous and shock-resilient Europe will be.
In love with problems and how to solve them, currently: Creating an economy for people and the planet, not the other way round @ ZOE
#FeelingProud ZOE Institute for Future-fit Economies is one of the research organisations named in Mario Draghi’s recent report on the Future of EU Competitiveness – a report set to shape EU industrial policy and economic policy for years to come. At the same time, when I look at the pages of acknowledgements, I wish there were more fresh voices like ours. It is very much a list of incumbents. I don’t see many champions of clean industry, nor regional representatives – which could help explain why the potential of currently left behind EU regions to contribute to competitiveness continues to be overlooked. Europe needs new solutions to the challenges we face. Listening to the same old actors is unlikely to lead to different answers. #draghi #competitiveness #industrialpolicy #neweconomics
