Changing Age
'Changing Age' is the University’s response to the societal challenge of ageing. Population ageing presents an enormous array of challenges affecting all aspects of human life: health, wellbeing, finance, work, social organisation and culture.
As a civic university with a global reputation for academic excellence, Newcastle University is committed to solving, not just describing, the challenges of ageing in order to make the very most of our increasingly long lives.
We were early to recognise the importance of ageing and have achieved strong international recognition for research excellence in this field. Changing Age builds on this to enhance the University's profile and impact through improved engagement with the civic environment and as an exemplar of social and economic impact.
