Welcome to the Successful Ageing blog
Örebro University’s strategic initiative on Successful Ageing currently consists of two graduate research schools focusing on interdisciplinary research. The PhD students spend four years on their own research while being part of the strategic initiative.
At the research school on Successful Ageing, research is being carried out on ageing and the opportunities offered by successful ageing. We are developing theories on successful ageing and relating them to a contemporary Nordic perspective. The graduate school is international with 18 doctoral students from several different countries.
The Newbreed PhD programme is partly financed by the EU Horizon 2020 programme, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programmes (MSCA COFUND). During 2018, 16 international doctoral students were recruited from 14 different countries, each working on a project of their own choice within four thematic areas.
