Ageing Spring School: "The Multi-Disciplinary Toolkit for Global Ageing Research"                                       The Spring School held 14 – 17 April 2008 attracted 70 participants drawn from 30 countries across the globe representing 20 disciplines. It provided a Multi-Disciplinary Toolkit for Global Ageing Research, by equipping the next generation of researchers with the tools they need to move into the 21st century. The School has drawn on Oxford academics from three divisions, and presented a unique opportunity for interaction between leading experts and emerging researchers in bio-demographic, social and behavioural research, to explore both individual and population ageing. The School filled an existing gap in academic skills in global ageing research and once again emphasized the University of Oxford, and the Oxford Institute of Ageing, as a first in this endeavour.

International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU): International workshop on the health policy challenges of ageing populations

On 28 and 29 January 2008 the Oxford Institute of Ageing hosted a workshop for members of the International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU) to develop a collaborative research project on the health policy challenges of ageing populations. The Institute of Ageing successfully applied for money from the John Fell Foundation to take the collaboration forward with a wider group of participants (between University of Oxford, University of Copenhagen, Beijing University, National University of Singapore, Australian National University and Tokyo University).
