    LISER
    invites highly qualified and motivated applicants for an internship position in the
    Urban Development and Mobility Department (UDM), under a project funded by the
    European Union, through
    Horizon European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant program.

About the FragMent project:

Geographic environments, daily activities and stress.


Stress is nearly ubiquitous in everyday life, and imposes a tremendous burden worldwide by acting as a major risk factor of mental disorders, autoimmune, infectious and cardiovascular diseases, and some cancers.

The aim of the _FragMent_ project is to evaluate to which extent the spatial and temporal fragmentation of exposures to environments in daily life influences physiological and psychological stress, as well as social inequalities in stress.

Engaging in daily activities translates into travelling to and staying within a variety of environments over a day.

According to the Stress Restorative theory, exposures to daily environments may either act as a contributor to stress or provide some restorative qualities.

For example, while greener environments reduce stress, higher built-up density and proximity to traffic do the reverse. Yet, the combination of these momentary effects on stress over a day have so far been largely ignored.

While being in a park for one hour may lower down the stress accumulated at the workplace, is it still the case if accessing the park means a difficult 10- minute walk with road crossings, loud noises, and high traffic intensity? Is it still relaxing if instead of reading alone in the park, you watch your kids so they don't hurt themselves or go too far? How does it depend on the activity carried out before, or the environment visited immediately after? How are these exposures and activities distributed across social groups? _FragMent _builds on a corpus of evidence from neighborhood effect in epidemiology, and creates a bridge with Geography, to investigate the determinants of momentary, daily and chronic stress.


Your Role:

Contribute to the research effort on focus groups to examine the effects of urban environmental characteristics on stress.
This sub-project in _FragMent_ aims to identify and characterize the environmental determinants of stress in urban environments.

As evidence on the urban stressors is limited, in addition to the restorative effect of natural environments, _FragMent_ starts with an exploratory approach based on qualitative methods to identify potential stressful and relaxing environmental characteristics.

The focus groups in French have been performed in June 2023.

The content ot the focus groups explored in depth the definition of stress, the environmental determinants of stress, the situational factors of stressfull situations, and social stress inequalities.


Supervision team:

Dr. Camille Perchoux is a research associate at the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (
LISER), department of Urban Development and Mobility. She is a health geographer with a background in geography and a PhD in Public Health epidemiology awarded in 2015 from Sorbonne University and the University of Montreal. Her research interests include the assessment of neighborhood effect on health at refined spatial and temporal scales, social and spatial inequalities in health, and longitudinal effects of environments on health. Her research involves the use interdisciplinary concepts, methods and tools from epidemiology, geography and transportation research including map-based questionnaires, GPS, (bio)sensors, mobile surveys and virtual reality technology. She is the principal investigator of the _FragMent_ project.

Dr. Monique Simons is an assistant professor at Wageningen University & Research at the Social Sciences group and the Consumption and Healthy Lifestyles chair group in the Netherlands. She has a background in Human Movement Sciences, obtained her PhD in Health Sciences at the VU University and has a diverse and longstanding experience in conducting research and crossing boundaries between science, policy, practice and society in the field of health behavior change. Her expertise is on the role of the context in developing and evaluating interventions (i.e. context-aware interventions) and the role technology can play in this. She has experience in a wide range of research methods, both quantitative and qualitative such as focus groups.
