Founded in collaboration with the University of Greifswald and sustainability policy experts IKEM, the OHRC facilitates Therme’s access to the development of evidence-based, integrative solutions that can actively address global challenges of rising civilisation diseases, rapid urban growth and climate change.

The centre is carrying out research projects that contribute to the implementation of cross-sectoral, evidence-based applicable models that target societal and planetary health and wellbeing by health and wellbeing of our society and planet, achieved by bringing together academic institutions, NGOs, healthcare providers, urban developers, designers and architects. Findings are being implemented in Therme projects and facilities in order to restore and create healthy environments in cities worldwide.
