Research Outputs

As Europe Hub, the STG supports the R4R Commission by gathering evidence and research to inform the reform for resilience agenda and prepare policy recommendations. The R4R Commission aims to:

• identify key drivers of ‘health resilience',
• make specific policy recommendations to enhance the institutional commitment to global health resilience as key to healthier growth,
• develop a health resilience model and index to help drive cultural and policy changes.

2. Population Health: differential population susceptibility and impact of COVID-19 across Europe
3. The Role of Business in health resilience: startups and multinationals4. Digital and Data: shared data, infodemics and misinformation5. Healthy Growth and Resilience: measurement, metrics and indicators
