re-care

Resilient Healthcare in Times of Multiple Crises (RE-CARE) is a multidisciplinary German-Japanese research network exploring the intersections of crisis, health, and technology.

RE-CARE aims to bring together researchers from Japan and Germany to foster a transcultural exchange on the impacts of various crises and the potential of technology to build resilience. Our approach is rooted in a multidisciplinary framework that values perspectives from each scientific discipline and encourages dialogue among the social, cultural, health, sports, and technical sciences.
