Edinburgh Napier University has committed its support to a new European Commission-funded project that aims to address the prevalence of ageism.
Led by Bar-Ilan University’s Louise and Gabi Westfield School of Social Work, the project – known as the Marie Sklodowska-Cure Innovative Training Network on Science-Policy Communication in the Field of Ageism (EuroAgeism) – will bring leading professionals from a wide variety of disciplines together to tackle discrimination against particular age groups through research.
EuroAgeism is an international network of researchers, policy makers, and social and health care professionals, with Dr Angela Kydd of Edinburgh Napier’s School of Health and Social Care leading the University’s involvement.
Dr Kydd has extensive experience of working in the field of gerontology. She will be director of studies to two of the proposed PhD students as part of EuroAgeism project.
