The University of Girona was thus a pioneer at a national level in creating a Chair in the area of the health promotion. Since then the Chair has stood out for its dynamic nature and its will to remain a benchmark for quality in this sphere of knowledge.
The Chair of Health Promotion fosters knowledge transfer and research in health promotion. The Chair's catalogue of services includes educational activities, research, diffusion and transfer of knowledge, publications and internationalisation.
The Chair constitutes a fundamental asset in its field thanks to its pioneering position and leadership. Its mission is one of facilitating and managing the creation, transfer and dissemination of knowledge and becoming a stage for technical and professional education through teaching, research and the promotion of know-how.
