The Research Line on Ageing brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers whose mission is to deepen the understanding of the ageing process from a biopsychosocial perspective, focusing on the biological, psychological, social, and contextual determinants that influence the health, well-being, and quality of life of older adults.

In close collaboration with healthcare institutions, educational settings, and community organizations, this line aims to produce and transfer scientific knowledge that contributes to improving practices, care contexts, and strategies for promoting active and inclusive ageing, grounded in interdisciplinary collaboration and in the use of scientific evidence as a foundation for action.

Its activities are structured around two complementary axes of research and intervention:

1. Health, Care, and Ageing Processes, focusing on the study of health and disease processes associated with ageing, particularly dementia and other chronic conditions, as well as on the experiences of caring and being cared for;

2. Active Ageing, Literacy, and Intergenerational Inclusion, dedicated to the promotion of active and successful ageing through the development of programs and strategies that strengthen health literacy, social participation, intergenerational initiatives, and the fight against ageism.

Taken together, this research line contributes to a comprehensive and multidimensional understanding of ageing, supporting the production of rigorous scientific knowledge and the development of innovative practices that promote quality of life, the right to participation, dignity, and well-being throughout the life course.
