Centre of Expertise Healthy Ageing

Despite all efforts, health disparities and inequalities of opportunities have increased in recent years instead of decreased. This makes the need and urgency for better health and participation all the greater.

The Centre of Expertise Healthy Ageing contributes to more healthy years for the inhabitants of the northern region by working on equality of opportunity and participation, vulnerability and appropriate care, and a healthy lifestyle and living environment. Through applied research, we develop knowledge that we transfer to students and professionals through education and learning networks.
