This will be achieved through the training of 15 international Ph.D. Students to bridge the existing gap between science and policy while also advancing the research and policy in the area of ageism. By pursuing 15 research projects it aims to explore the different ways to:
- improve the active participation of older adults in the workforce;

- promote an age-friendly society, which helps older adults to realize their full potential.
The project EuroAgeism is a multi-disciplinary, multi-sectorial, international network of researchers, policy makers, and social and health care professionals. This network will be dedicated to the training of Early Stage Researchers working in the field of ageism and will allow these graduates of the program to capture positions as scientists, educators, science advisers, policy advocates, lobbyists, or legislators in the field of ageism. During a 3-year period JAGIELLONIAN UNIVERSITY will host a researcher (as PhD student) who will work on “Ageism in the workforce: The role of welfare regimes” project.
