The “Society for Theory and Research on Salutogenesis” (STARS) was founded in 2017 by the Global Working Group (GWG) on Salutogenesis. The mission of STARS is to advance and promote the theory and research on Salutogenesis by connecting researchers around the globe. The GWG is in charge of advancing the STARS activities. The Center of Salutogenesis (COS) at the University of Zurich in Switzerland is coordinating STARS.
STARS provides a transdisciplinary platform for scientific exchange between researchers in the field of Salutogenesis. The Handbook of Salutogenesis illustrates the broad range of social issues to which Salutogenesis is applied: conflict resolution and peace initiatives, intergroup relations, restorative environments, work life, organization development, education, corrections, architecture, and many aspects of health promotion and disease and illness prevention and treatment. Therefore, the GWG establishes STARS as a way to connect scholars from diverse disciplines, who share an interest in the science of Salutogenesis.
STARS welcomes anyone with an interest in the science of Salutogenesis! Membership is free and without obligations. Become a member now! STARS members are encouraged to share their publications as well as news, events and blog posts on Salutogenesis.
