Department heading

The research and development project of the Health-Promoting University has set itself the goal of promoting the establishment and expansion of health-promoting working, studying and living conditions for students and employees at Fulda University of Applied Sciences. Taking into account the Jakarta Declaration from 1997, health promotion is understood in the development of this concept as a process that should enable people to gain a higher degree of control over their own health and to improve it by influencing the health-relevant framework conditions in their living and working environment.

Accordingly, the main task of the Health Promoting University is not only to initiate and accompany target group-specific behavioural and relationship-related measures. It also aims to enable all members of Fulda University of Applied Sciences to participate in the field of health promotion in the university setting and to enable them to contribute their own potential and resources to this process.
