The Centre includes more than 20 social policy analysts, sociologists and gerontologists from the Universities of Jyväskylä, Tampere and Helsinki who work together in analysing the challenges and opportunities that the ongoing societal transformation into to the aged or the superaged society is bringing forward. Research teams of the CoE are led by prof Teppo Kröger, prof Marja Jylhä, Dr Outi Jolanki, Dr Sirpa Wrede and Dr Sakari Taipale. This is not a merely Finnish project as we are working together with a large global network of leading researchers of ageing and care, and as we address international and global dimensions of ageing and aim to contribute to the international debate. CoE AgeCare has now started and just published its home site <https://www.jyu.fi/hytk/fi/laitokset/yfi/en/research/projects/agecare> , which also includes a welcome blog <https://www.jyu.fi/hytk/fi/laitokset/yfi/en/research/projects/agecare/blog> . From now on, for the next eight years, the home site will follow keenly the research work, events, publications and other activities of the CoE. Among its activities, the Centre will organise a number of international workshops, conferences and summer/winter schools that will support particularly early career researchers to develop their skills, perspectives and academic networks. The CoE will organise its International Kick-off Conference and first Summer/Autumn School in Jyväskylä, Finland in Autumn 2018. Closer information on this event will follow during the spring. The freshest CoE AgeCare info is always available in Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/coeagecare/> and Twitter <https://twitter.com/CoE_AgeCare> (also in English, in addition to Finnish).
