Our philosophy in the Heat and Health Research Centre is that diverse areas of expertise are essential to understanding the complex impacts of extreme heat and hot weather on human health across the human lifespan and is critical to generating comprehensive and sustainable solutions.

Members of the Heat and Health Research Centre are comprised of multi-disciplinary academics and research partners transcending all areas of expertise.

In addition, central to our mission is connecting senior and early-to-mid-career researchers from a diverse array of academic backgrounds to produce the latest scientific evidence so that we can nurture future leaders in Heat and Health.
