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 10th, will have a focus on The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in old age and will have a new format, which includes two types of activities:
– three full days of lectures, testimonials and hands-on sessions;
– two days workshop where scientific papers will be presented and discussed.
NUMBER OF ECTS EQUIVALENCE:
2 (full week attendance); 1 (Summer School attendance only)
2 (FULL WEEK ATTENDANCE); 1 (SUMMER SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ONLY)
INTRODUCTION
The VIU Summer Institute on Ageing will:
- provide students and trainees with a thorough understanding of the ageing process, offering notions of the medical and epidemiological recent literature to the socio-economic advances in this research area;
- enhance the multidisciplinary approach for researchers who work on ageing;
- provide “hands on” experience on the micro data-sets;
- increase the mobility and the interconnectivity of PhD students, researchers, teaching staff and policy makers, hence favouring the creation of research networks.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- participants will gain special insight into the recent advances of the ageing process from a theoretical and practical point of view and will be able to perform impact evaluation (e.g. health care costs);
- participants will learn how to use the data in this area of research;
- participants will be offered the opportunity to share their ideas in a poster-sessions and during social events;
- participants will develop transversal competences based on a multidisciplinary approach. Specific training sessions, such as “mentoring sessions”, will take place;
- policy makers and people involved in public policy and public services will be able to learn how to connect issues between the health dimension of ageing and the socio-economic dimension of ageing.
