If you were to ask us how to describe this project, we would say it’s a commitment to people who, at some point in their lives, have faced suffering. This research project aims to bring people together in the same space to discuss and find solutions so that responses are more effective and to reduce the inequalities that make us sick. This project is also a commitment to the development of a science that doesn’t reduce but expands and includes and that takes responsibility and holds us accountable.
