The UdG Chair in Ageing and Health aims to consider how to address the challenges involved in ageing well, with rights, diversity and community. 

A proposal that aims to create a space for knowledge transfer, dissemination and training, with the involvement of professionals and the elderly themselves, which means a link between academia, administration, organisations and companies with the elderly themselves.

A necessary goal in line with the exceptional change in the development in progress and which will experience old age in general terms and which will be written by people who, for the first time, experience it. The largest population and the highest proportion of people over 55 years in history, the greatest life expectancy, change in population distribution and the visualisation of diversity in all areas of the person.A reality that will also have to face a social vision of ageing, old age and stereotyped elderly people, with prejudices and discriminatory behaviour based on age.

Challenges that involve efforts to promote older people themselves as responsible for their own lives and the administrations and the community to adapt and adjust policies and resources and not leave them alone. But it also involves everyone behind us learning and improving.
