Interfaculty research institute
EMGO+’s mission requires an inter- and transdisciplinary research approach. Since 2009 EMGO+ is ‘EMGO+’, an interfaculty and therefore even more transdisciplinary research institute, as we formally join forces with strong research groups in the fields of psychology and education as well as health sciences, building on already established collaborations and supported by a 3.6 MEuro grant from the VU University.
The participating faculties and research groups within EMGO+ are:
- The ‘old’ EMGO+ Institute, in which the VUmc departments of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, General Practice, Nursing Home Medicine, Psychiatry, Public and Occupational Health and Rehabilitation Medicine have concentrated most of their research efforts with additional contributions from a number of other VUmc departments;
- The department of Health Sciences of the faculty of Earth and Life Sciences;
- The departments of Clinical Psychology, Biological Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Special Education of the faculty of Psychology and Education.
