Strategic Objectives

Research Capacity

ICSG contributes to international scientific knowledge on ageing and public policy, and in doing so is engaged in building and sustaining national and European research capacity for the study of social, economic and cultural aspects of ageing.

Collaboration

ICSG seeks to co-produce relevant and practicable research through the formation of active collaborative research relationships with older people, representative organisations and national and international policy stakeholders.

Policy Analysis

ICSG works to establish ageing as a cross-cutting public policy focus in Ireland and in Europe, thereby influencing the formulation of policy and informing an evidence-based engagement of policy levers for improving the lives of older people.

Research Led Teaching & Training

ICSG endeavours to develop ageing and public policy as an academic field and a focus for professional development, and is engaged in designing programmes for third-level students and people working in the ageing sector.
