Students

Who are we looking for?
People who are interested in pursuing graduate studies in gerontology, disabilities and caregiving or applied economics.

How do students fit in?

Our talented students gain knowledge, skills and practical experiences that enable them to become the next generation of researchers on global ageing:

• preparing oral presentations and posters
• traveling to and presenting at national and international conferences
• writing journal articles and FACT sheets.
