Age-It – Ageing well in an ageing society

The mission of the project is to make Italy an international scientific hub for the study of ageing, as well as an empirical laboratory for studying population ageing, becoming a benchmark for all societies that are ageing rapidly. Age-It is a network of universities, research bodies and businesses that pools expertise for the development of 10 different areas. A total of 27 entities participate in the Extended Partnership Age-it.
