Centre of Excellence in Research on Ageing and Care
Centre of Excellence in Research on Ageing and Care (CoE AgeCare) studies the transformation of ageing and care for older people using new conceptual and interdisciplinary perspectives, conjoining the analysis of diversification of everyday life to that of ongoing profound societal and policy change. CoE AgeCare studies the questions of ageing, health of the ageing population, inequalities, agency of older people, housing and care policies, digitalization and migration in national and global contexts.
CoE AgeCare combines scholarship from social policy, sociology and gerontology, analysing older people’s care needs, agency and equality as well as the changing character of care work in the context of ongoing societal trends of the ageing society. CoE AgeCare is conducted as a concerted effort of four different Research Groups coming from the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, Tampere University and the University of Helsinki and in close collaboration with a broad network of leading international scholars. In total, the four teams include more than 60 researchers.
