The “Living Well Aging Well” tackles the societal challenge of individual and collective aging. Because ageing is heterogeneous and multifactorial, it offers original transdisciplinary training at the interface between health, humanities & social sciences. This initiative is conducted to support the emergence of new, global approaches in research and in education. Built around the Faculty of Humanities, Health, Sport, Societies, this program relies on a very rich and large multidisciplinary teaching approach and intensive schools promoting creativity. Furthermore, it is backed by cutting-edge research projects from the fields of health, sociology, psychology, history, law, social and solidarity economy, along with the Sciences and Techniques in Physical and Sports Activities (STAPS) department/program. It must encourage the adaptation and creation of new jobs that will respond to the health, societal, economic, and ethical issues raised by aging as a process that is not limited to the question of old age but concerns life paths in their entirety.
