The program 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 will be given to the socioeconomic challenges related to the promotion of active and healthy ageing in the population, as well as the value of longitudinal surveys to guide the design of evidence-based strategies.
This edition of the Summer Institute will include two types of activities:
- A three-day summer school on “Multidisciplinary Perspectives in the Study of Ageing based on Longitudinal Surveys” with lectures, testimonials and hands-on sessions (June 9-11)
- A two-day workshop on “Ageing, Health and Retirement” with presentations and discussions of scientific papers from leading experts in the fields (June 12-13)
Agar Brugiavini, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & Venice International University (VIU)
Post-doc scholars, PhD students, and graduates in economics, statistics, social sciences and medicine, but also professionals active in the field of ageing. Students taking part in the Summer School are also invited to attend the workshop.
Participants will gain insights into the recent advances of research on the ageing process, from a multidisciplinary perspective. More specifically, the implementation of active and healthy ageing approaches will be considered from a socioeconomic perspective. Furthermore, participants will take part in “hands-on” sessions where they will be trained on how to use the data behind the research efforts in this area. Participants will gain subject-related competencies in handling large data sets on ageing, which contain relevant information on health and socioeconomic conditions.
Attending the school means you will develop your transversal skills as the approach is multidisciplinary, and those who have a specific economic or sociological background will learn more about medical advances in ageing research, acquiring the specific language in which MDs deal with these issues as well. High-level policy makers or officials who may also take part in this program will be able to learn how to connect issues between the health dimension and the economic dimension of ageing.
