ULB Interdisciplinary Research Institute for Sports

U-IRIS is intended to bring together research skills existing at ULB in the fields of sports and physical activity in order to stimulate collaboration and interdisciplinary research. The research carried out within U-IRIS could be the basis of evidence-based advice in various fields of sport and physical activity. ULB and each of U-IRIS partner groups, as well as their existing activities, platforms, infrastructures and collaborations, will gain in visibility, both internally and externally in a promising and rapidly evolving field.

The research carried out by U-IRIS is designed to be both fundamental and applied. It is developed around five major axes:
- clinics / sports medicine
- high level sports / performance
- rehabilitation / handicap and sports
- sports and society (including education through sports)
- prevention / public health / nutrition.

Projetcs

Projet d'appui à l'Institut National de Santé Publique du Burundi

Ce projet vise à appuyer l’INSP pour un développement de ses activités d’enseignement (création d'un master de santé publique) et de recherche mais aussi pour un renforcement institutionnel plus général en termes de gestion, administration, communication, etc.

En termes de recherche, le domaine de la couverture sanitaire universelle et de la qualité des soins et des services est la priorité. L'axe de recherche le plus développé, dans ce pays à la population très jeune, vise à mieux comprendre les comportements de santé des jeunes (alimentation, activité physique, comportements affectifs et sexuels, etc.) et leur utilisation des services de santé pour notamment nourrir les réflexions politiques.

Le dernier volet de ce projet concerne la création d'un observatoire de la santé afin d'orienter les décisions politiques.
