Research Group on Ageing (GIE-CSIC)


The Research Group on Aging - CSIC (GIE-CSIC) was established in 1989 at the Institute of Economics and Geography, to face the analysis of the aging of the Spanish population which began to be considered in those years as a subject of significant social importance. Group members agreed (i) to contribute to the scientific research on aging in Spain, which has resulted in an extensive curriculum (projects and contracts, publications, participation in various scientific and outreach activities), and (ii) to interact with other social research lines, disciplines and groups. Several lines of research have been profiled to follow researching on ageing in Spain as well as to accept the predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows training, both Spanish and foreign.
