Vision and Mission

Vision

Our vision is to restore and maintain independence, productivity, and quality of life for people with physical disabilities and to contribute towards an inclusive society.

Enlarged view: The graphic depicts a circular representation of the continuum-of-care of the rehabilitation process – divided into six phases: early rehab and acute phase, therapy and subacute phase, training and chronic phase, assistance and long-term phase, inclusion and monitoring, prevention and pre-rehabilitation. The competence centre for rehabilitation engineering and science fosters the exchange of information between all these phases, and it connects all relevant stakeholders in the fields within its three main fields of action – namely research, education and outreach.

Mission

Our mission is to promote the establishment of a holistic rehabilitation approach to better meet the needs of people with physical disabilities by facilitating research and transfer, fostering an interdisciplinary network, and raising awareness along the continuum-of-care.
