About the Center

What does it mean to grow old and to be old? Critical aging and care research examines the opportunities, possibilities and challenges that the "longevity society" offers us. What conditions are needed for a "good life to the end"? What role do social inequalities play?

Words of Welcome from Ulla Kriebernegg and Klaus Wegleitner
