About the CSHI
The Centre for Social and Health Innovation (CSHI) is a multidisciplinary research centre established in 2018 that addresses current key challenges in the social, health and public sectors at regional, national and international level. As a research unit, the CSHI positions itself as an interface between science, practice and public governance and pursues the goal of developing and providing evidence-based decision-making foundations for politics, administration and social and health care systems. In addition to strengthening scientific discourse, the focus is particularly on transferring research outcomes into socially effective decision-making and design processes. The focus lies on interdisciplinary research in the following areas:
Health Economics & Health Policy
Digital Media, AI & Health
Social Dynamics & Social Policy
Social Work Practice, Social Change & Human Rights
Cross-Cutting Issues
This artwork with the title 'GEMEINSAM KANN's LEUCHTEN' ('Together, there's light') was created in cooperation between the CSHI and the artist group ‘Kunst Kultur Natur’ (Art Culture Nature) of the Psychosocial Care Service Tyrol. In a participatory process, topics such as health, public health, mental health, community, research, politics and participation were creatively implemented.
