Healthier brains make a healthier workforce - ESF Success Story from Finland

Sustainable Brain Health project was chosen as one of European Social Fund (ESF) Success Stories from Finland.

”Finnish universities are helping employees to improve wellbeing and productivity and to be COVID-19 resilient, by using neuroscience expertise to better understand and manage brain health at work. Sustainable Brain Health uses the latest neuroscience expertise to study brain health – especially the impact of stress associated with COVID-19 – in job roles with distinct professional demands, such as nursing, teaching and information technology. It aims to raise awareness of the different demands made on the brain at work and the impact these demands have on performance, and to assess whether new methods and technologies could counteract the detrimental effects of stress”, the ESF website describes.
