Project description
Stimulating research excellence to ensure that living longer also means living better
Life expectancy in Europe has increased, which means that its population is ageing faster than before. However, living longer does not necessarily mean living better. In fact, the chances of spending these later years in good health vary within and between countries. Promoting good health throughout life is a top priority in order to relieve individual suffering and reduce the massive strain on public finances. The EU-funded RESETageing project will enhance scientific and innovation competences at Portugal’s University of Coimbra, which will work together with the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in the United Kingdom, the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands and the Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute in Germany. The project’s main aim is to stimulate research excellence in ageing and age-related cardiovascular diseases.
Objective
Europe’s ageing population is characterized by an increasing gap between the ‘successful agers’ and the less successful ones, resulting in a significant fraction of the population suffering multiple diseases and disabilities. For the foreseeable future, interventions that increase healthy ageing bear the most promising potential to relieve individual suffering as well as the enormous strain on public finances. RESETageing project aims at enhancing the scientific and innovation competences of University of Coimbra (UC), Portugal, a low-performing partner, in the area of cardiovascular ageing, with three high-performing partners, University of Newcastle upon Tyne (UNEW), United Kingdom (ageing biology), the University of Maastricht (UM), Netherlands (cardiovascular biology) and the Leibniz Institute on Aging– Fritz Lipmann Institute (LIA), Germany (cardiovascular ageing). To accomplish this goal, the project is divided in 6 work packages that will: (i) stimulate research excellence in the aging and age-related cardiovascular diseases, (ii) train and give institutional exposure of UC researchers in the area of ageing mechanisms and new tools in age-related diseases (omics, system biology and animal models), and (iii) build an innovation and entrepreneurship environment at UC by nurturing an entrepreneurial and risk-taking spirit among UC students and researchers.
