Welcome
We talk much more about
disease than we talk about health. An overwhelming preoccupation with disease is
an expensive and inefficient way to pursue health. Health is achieved
through our interaction with the world around us - air, water and food,
the people, the footpaths, the hurling pitches, night clubs and
countryside. The Centre for Health from Environment (CHfE) at the
Ryan Institute will work to place
sustaining health through environmental stewardship at the centre of
public policy through teaching, research and advocacy.
The Centre for Health from Environment is an integral part of
the Ryan Institute. It brings together existing research strands and groups associated
with the Ryan Institute and from the wider University Community to
generate and sustain new academic activity. The CHfE is managed by a
steering committee of staff members who have an established record of
collaboration and successful funding applications with each other in
this area. There is no comparable Centre in an Irish University and it
is clear from the emergence of such Centres in major international
academic institutions and from calls for research proposals that there
is a niche in this area that NUI Galway is well placed to fill.
