HOMeAGE involves 12 Doctoral Researchers (DRs) on a full-time basis over three years starting in September 2023, to carry out an interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international programme of doctoral training and research that drives the development of new leaders in excellence for the advancement of evidence-based innovation on ageing in place. The Doctoral Researchers will be hosted by one of the beneficiary organizations in the HOMeAGE network, comprising: leading research units; major intergovernmental organisations; international civil society actors; governmental and non-governmental organisations; public advisory agencies and innovation bodies.
