Erasmus University Rotterdam and Erasmus MC bring together a combined breadth and depth of expertise care that puts them in an excellent position to make interdisciplinary scientific and societal contributions concerning health and health care.

On this basis, the Erasmus Initiative “Smarter Choices for Better Health” (SCBH) stimulates collaboration between the various schools and departments and to help providing new, compelling answers to wicked health related problems in society.

From its start activities in SCBH have been organized in four Action Lines:

- Incentivizing Prevention
- Health Equity
- Outcome-based Healthcare
- Evaluation of Healthcare

After successful earlier events, SCBH will organize a new conference on November 30, 2023 (10:00 - 16:30h) on Campus Woudestein, providing another opportunity for this broader community to get together and discuss ongoing research and shared interests.

During the event, researchers involved in SCBH will present their (intermediate) results. At the same time we are very interested in other projects at the EUR that study related topics.
