Vision and Mission

ISPM’s Vision

We see health as a participatory, intersectoral, and transdisciplinary process, which is continuously created via interactions between people and their social and natural environment at the local, regional, national, and global level.

ISPM’s Mission

Our mission is to

  • advance knowledge of health and disease among populations within their social and natural environments through evidence-based, participatory, and interdisciplinary academic research;

  • educate graduate and postgraduate students to become knowledgeable, responsible professionals in academic, clinical, and public health positions;

  • create and promote health by disseminating knowledge, informing policy, and providing services from local to global levels.


Based on this Vision and Mission, ISPM is developing a new strategy as an evolution of ISPM2030.
