Mission

Devoted to science-based policy development on the aging of populations, our vision is to help individuals, government, and business navigate the age boom in positive and constructive ways, and to highlight older people's productivity and contributions to society.

Aging is About Everyone

Our work is international, interdisciplinary, and intergenerational — while always focusing on how aging ultimately affects all individuals — every one of us. Our primary goals are to:

• Advance Healthy Aging
  We review current knowledge of aging and make recommendations for lifestyle changes, identifying promising research areas for medical advances that could help alleviate the adverse effects associated with aging.
  

• Promote Productive Engagement
  We believe that staying engaged is a cornerstone of quality of life. We outline research agendas for the development of new therapies to prevent mental decline and maintain cognitive vitality throughout life.

• Combat Ageism
  Through comprehensive research, we identify and analyze various forms of ageist stereotyping, pushing the issue into public discourse and encouraging public and private institutions to remedy ageist attitudes, policies, and practices.
