CELSI is participating in the founding of the new scientific association Therapolis, which wants to improve the health and quality of life in cities

The Therapolis project aims to create connections between top research teams, innovators and experts from different disciplines, countries and sectors to jointly contribute to solving problems in the field of health and quality of life in the urban environment.
