Chair in Caring for Health and Well-being
Approved by the Governing Council of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili on February 19, 2026, the Chair in Caring for Health and Well-being, jointly promoted with the Ajuntament del Vendrell, was created with the aim of placing knowledge at the service of the territory and improving the well-being of the population of Baix Penedès.
The Chair's mission is to promote health and well-being through education, applied research, and territorial cooperation. In the current context, it serves as a leading space for analyzing the territory's health needs and promoting actions aimed at improving the population's well-being.
Its activities are structured around four main areas:
- Education, with courses, workshops, and seminars for professionals and the public.
- Research, promoting projects and actions that facilitate the application of scientific knowledge for the benefit of the territory and its population.
- Knowledge transfer, with programs such as Active Ageing in El Vendrell and Mental Health Pathways for Citizens, among others.
- Outreach, with guides, infographics, and videos to raise public awareness on health and well-being issues.
The Chair is based at the Baix Penedès Campus of the URV, in Coma-ruga (El Vendrell), and aims to consolidate a model of inter-institutional collaboration that helps reduce inequalities and promote a more comprehensive, community-based, and territory-adapted approach to health.
