Dear Colleagues,
I am very sorry to inform you that the COHEHRE Conference will not be going ahead at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences as planned this year.
There have been extensive discussions between the COHEHRE Council, the RUAS organising team and the RUAS University Executive. In the light of the spread of the Corona Virus, we do not feel we should expose our students and staff to heightened risks of transmission at this time.
We are pleased to be able to announce that the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences have agreed to host the ‘COHEHRE Conference: Urban Health: Inclusion and Sustainability in Super-diverse Cities’ instead on March 24-26, 2021.
In the light of this we would be happy to refund any conference fees already paid.
Alternatively, we would be able to carry the fee forward for the new date.
If you would have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Isabelle Delariviere

Welcome in Rotterdam
About the themeThe theme of the conference, Urban health: inclusion and sustainability in super-diverse cities, is relevant, because Rotterdam is a city with a superdiverse population. Not only over 50% of the population has a non-Dutch background, with a representation of over 200 different countries, there's also a diversity in age, social status and income.
Variety of health and social issues
The city is divided by the river Maas into the relatively rich Northern part and the deprived area with a relatively young population in the South of Rotterdam. This South area has been getting a lot of attention in the last decade from both the local and national government. Rotterdam is dealing with a variety of health and social issues, such as chronical diseases, addiction, loneliness and risk behaviour.
Cooperation
The Rotterdam University works closely together with the local government within the National Program for Rotterdam South (NPRZ) to help improving the South part of the city by research and projects done by the research centre in cooperation with students. 'Wherever you go in Rotterdam South, you will see Rotterdam students in action'.
During the conference
During the conference we will share knowledge, new insights and experiences and the implications for education and research issues around the theme of this conference.
let's make it an inspiring conference together
