2012 International Ph.D. Intensive School
AGEING SOCIETY: ISSUES, THEORIES AND PRACTICES FOR AN ACTIVE AGEING
The School aims at training experts, both from the public and the private sectors, to be able to manage the process of ageing of the population. In particular, the course, by its interdisciplinary nature, intends to help participants to move beyond their own field of expertise, in order to assume a general holistic perspective of the overall phenomenon of the ageing of the population and to be in the position to select the cutting edge strategies of psychosocial, economic, technological and industrial nature.
The

candidates awarded the title in the last couple of years, as well as

their focus is the ageing society. The School welcomes also
representatives of the public administration and the private sector

and research centers. Representatives of the public administration and
the private sector will be admitted exceeding the students’ quota.
