VIU Summer Institute on Ageing | 9th Edition
June 13, 2022 - June 17, 2022
The VIU Summer Institute on Ageing provides students and early-career researchers with a multidisciplinary and rigorous understanding of the ageing process, ranging from some basic notions of the medical and epidemiological literature, to key concepts in the economics and sociology of ageing.
A special focus is the use of large micro-data sets from the international family of health and retirement studies (SHARE, HRS, ELSA, CHARLS, MHAS, etc.).
This edition of the Summer Institute, the 9th, will have a focus on Global Ageing: Low- and Middle-income Country Challenges.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, VIU will continue to monitor the situation. Should the COVID-19 situation prevent international travel or the confirmation of the program on campus as scheduled, other practicable solutions will be evaluated. Applicants and confirmed participants will be informed of any changes.
