Health and Ageing

Assuming that the problems posed by health and ageing are complex, that require capacity to deal with uncertainty and change, and from a scientific and practical point of view they cross disciplinary boundaries, transdisciplinary skills are required which, based on collaboration and creativity, redefine and reframe them and design meaningful solutions.
