About UCPH-CARI

University of Copenhagen has initiated UCPH-CARI to contribute with solutions to the complex challenges we face as an ageing society. The initiative stands on the legacy of the Center for Healthy Aging, and it embraces all scientific disciplines of the university. Our working principles are based in interdisciplinary and societal engagement and collaboration. 

With this initiative we wish to embrace diversity in knowledge, practice and lived experiences and contribute, through the development of knowledge and new solutions, to a future society fit for ageing well. 

UCPH-CARI is an initiative created by researchers from across the faculties of the University of Copenhagen. We offer coordination, support and development of projects that contribute to realising its vision.
