About PIRSE-IEHRI
PIRSE-IEHRI is a Swiss think tank that brings together interdisciplinary expertise to understand and address complex interactions between human health and the environment. Facing contemporary health challenges with major societal implications, we develop a systemic approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries.
Our methodology combines research and operational vision. We analyze emerging issues at the health-environment interface, synthesize available scientific knowledge, and translate this expertise into accessible and applicable guidance. This evidence-based approach aims to inform public debate and guide the development of public health and environmental policies.
Our work addresses three complementary audiences: the scientific and academic community, political and institutional decision-makers, and the general public. By creating synergies between these different actors, we contribute to building integrated responses to health-environment challenges.
