WHO Collaborating Centre for Sexual and Reproductive Health
The Federal Institute of Public Health (BIÖG) has been a WHO Collaborating Centre for Sexual and Reproductive Health since 2003. The thematic focus lies on sexuality education in the WHO European region, a theme in which BIÖG has many years of experience on the national as well as on the international level. As WHO Collaborating Centre it engages in the development of frameworks and materials for different target groups in the field of sexuality education, in the development of standards, in research and in the organisation of seminars and conferences for knowledge transfer and networking.
As WHO CC, we are strongly committed to facilitating the implementation of regional and global frameworks, strategies and action plans relevant to the field of sexual and reproductive health in Member States of the WHO European Region, including the WHO Action Plan for Sexual and Reproductive Rights and the Sustainable Development GoalS..
