Healthy ageing and care

About us

Demographic trends in global ageing are changing rapidly. 
In 2018, for the first time in history, people aged 65 years or above outnumbered children aged under five. There are huge opportunities and challenges which, as a society, we are only just beginning to understand and explore. 
Our researchers are working across disciplines and with our partners from communities, business and the public sector. 
Our work includes: 

  • addressing health and social care ageing issues
  • designing appropriate living and working spaces
  • developing policies to accommodate an ageing workforce
  • exploring changes in the arts and culture.
Our mission is to build a collaborative, interdisciplinary research and knowledge exchange hub to better understand the challenges and opportunities for healthy ageing and care, and to support people as they age. Our vision is to enhance lives through innovative research on healthy ageing and care.
