The Strategic Laboratories on Transformation for Public Health (LET-SP) were established to identify the transformative potential of selected initiatives: climate change, ageing and digital public health. Their aim is to deepen new routes towards socio and institutional development based on principles of social and environmental sustainability. This is envisaged through the characterisation of actors, materials, rules and the regime they represent and by addressing the problems in Public Health specifically in conducting changes and establishing paths for the management of those knowledge niches.
