Clément Meier, PhD, is a senior researcher in Public Health at the University of Lausanne. His research focuses on end-of-life health literacy, care-giving, and decision-making, particularly among older adults. He contributes to the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), where he works on harmonizing end-of-life questionnaires and analyzing population-based data to understand how people prepare for and experience the final phase of life. Clément’s work bridges public health, behavioral science, and palliative care, combining quantitative and qualitative methods to explore how individuals, caregivers, and systems engage with dying, death, and bereavement.

He is also a member of the Swiss Young Academy and an editor at the International Journal of Public Health. Through his research and public engagement, Clément seeks to foster more compassionate, equitable, and informed approaches to end-of-life care and planning.
