We focus on improving the well-being and functioning of working-age people. Our research on human functioning has three main focuses: nutrition of the working-age, mental health of the working-age and work and education-based immigration. Our mission is to study the functional capacity of working-age people and provide policy recommendations based on the findings.
At SAMK, we have gathered our research, development, and innovation activities into research centers. Human Functioning forms one of these research entities. Research on human functioning is concentrated at SAMK’s Research Center for Human Functioning.
We raise awareness of the well-being of working-age people and support the functional capacity of the people of Satakunta, together with businesses, the public and third sectors and educational organizations. This work is done through provincial, national, international, and private research and development funding.
