New ageing institute launched at UNSW

Published 24th October 2018

A new ageing research institute has been established at UNSW as one of four cross-disciplinary centres focused on finding solutions to major social and scientific challenges.

CEPAR chief investigator Professor Kaarin Anstey will head the Ageing Futures Institute, which she says will conduct cross-disciplinary research designed to translate into health, fiscal and social policy on both a national and international level.

The institute will be formally launched on Wednesday.

Professor Anstey says it’s hoped the research will inspire communities and governments to view ageing positively and to adopt policies and technologies conducive to ageing well, as well as reducing the social, health and economic burdens of an ageing society.
