Description
The COST Action has the overall goal to improve the lives of older adults by enhancing scientific knowledge and attention to the phenomenon of ageism, by integrating the different disciplines of research currently involved in the field of ageism and by developing collaborations with public policy officials and non-academic professionals responsible for the care and wellbeing of older adults as well as with older adults themselves. Members from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) Fundamental Rights Research (FRC) and Research Group on Law, Science, Technology & Society (LSTS) are part of Work Group 2 (WG2) on Judicial/Legal Ageism. This WG focuses on legislations, judicial decisions and court rulings at the local andinternational levels and their implications for the rights and lives of older adults. The WG is chaired by prof. Israel (issi) Doron (Haifa University) and Nena Georgantzi (AGE Platform).
