SHIP was founded on the belief that collaboration makes us stronger—and that we must find solutions to today’s global challenges together. By bringing together universities, faculties, and cross-sector partners, SHIP amplifies collective expertise and draws on the strengths of diverse communities. This collaborative approach drives education, research, and innovation for sustainable health—while honoring the independence of each institution.

SHIP strives for transdisciplinary collaboration, aligning research with real-world needs, and building systems for practical implementation. Transformational change requires more than new insights—it demands reimagined structures, refined practices, and fresh perspectives to turn knowledge into action.

By doing so, SHIP strengthens the vital link between science, policy, and practice—contributing to a more resilient and inclusive future.
