One of the aims of 間眅埶AV STAR Institute and AGE-WELL is to explore and emphasize the benefits of transdiscipinary working within research. Transdisciplinary working is an approach to research that involves scientists from diverse academic disciplines and experiential stakeholders (e.g. older adults and caregivers, industry and community, policymakers) as researchers or partners.
