Geneva, Switzerland

The World Health Organization (WHO) today formally designated the EngAGE Centre for Research in Ageing  at Trinity College Dublin as the new WHO Collaborating Centre for Longitudinal Studies on Ageing and the Life-course.

The Collaborating Centre will play a crucial role in strengthening data measurement, monitoring, and research on healthy ageing. It will assist countries in conducting national surveys on ageing, comparable to established studies, with a focus on addressing population-specific health needs and barriers to equity across the life course.
