The Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ has received funding for JYU.Well from the Academy of Finland (in 2023-2028) to support in strengthening the university’s research profile. The aim of the profiling area is to produce new and multidisciplinary knowledge and understanding of human wellbeing at different stages of life, in communities and societies. By utilizing our strengths as a research community and recruiting new researchers, we can promote the multidisciplinary excellence of the JYU.Well community and its position as a forerunner in well-being research.

Although abundant research exists on various challenges in wellbeing, an encompassing concept of wellbeing remains ambiguous, highlighting the need to consolidate the disjoined and subjective wellbeing research into a holistic understanding. New approaches are required to investigate the interconnected aspects of wellbeing over the human lifespan and at the multiple transition points crucial for wellbeing. Such a goal enables internationally innovative research questions and outputs, as well as stronger social impacts on the practices and policies aiming for human wellbeing.
