Description
This is a research network formed by 7 research groups on cultural gerontology based at the European and American universities cited above. My collaboration in this research network is as a member of the Dedal-Lit research group, based at the University of Lleida, Spain. The aim of this network is to coordinate and organise joint research activities in the field of cultural gerontology. These activities include the organisation of two symposia, two joint publications, the establishment of the European Network in Ageing Studies (ENAS), and the discussion and preparation of applications for the Marie Curie Initial Training Network 2012, and the FP7 application for 2012.
