Copenhagen Centre of Health Research in the Humanities (CoRe) is a research centre based at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Copenhagen. The researchers at CoRe study the culture-analytical and historical aspects of health and illness in everyday life as well as the production of knowledge on health and illness. The centre consists of interdisciplinary researchers who work on a variety of projects that focus on e.g. ageing, welfare technology, illnesses, lifestyle, obesity and diet.

Over the past several decades, the health of populations has become a central concern for Western societies, and the role of lifestyle is increasingly positioned as crucial in improving health. This focus puts emphasis on the need for a humanistic perspective on food, ageing, and lifestyle interventions.
Our research is connected to three large interdisciplinary projects, which centre on three main tracks:
- Lifestyle and interventions: We specialise in studying the everyday practices of activity and obesity, and the possible effects of lifestyle changes on human health.
- Ageing and the life course: We research how ageing is practised in different communities, and contribute to new welfare solutions and insights about ageing societies.
- Food, diet and eating: We explore past and present practices, products, policies, and consumption patterns.
Within these tracks, we contribute knowledge that is grounded in everyday socio-cultural practices. With the use of ethnological and historical methods, our research bridges science, policy, and everyday practices, and thus works to improve the future health of populations.
