Description:
The Research Incubator on Ageing and Longevity at Universidad del Rosario (SIELo-UR) was created to address the need to advance the generation of new knowledge on the phenomenon of ageing through research, innovation, and ongoing dialogue across various disciplines within the health sciences. Participants in the incubator will develop a critical and proactive perspective on ageing research and will be equipped to design and carry out solid research projects with strong thematic, methodological, and ethical foundations. This incubator is open to any student from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences (EMCS) who wishes to deepen their understanding of ageing and longevity. It promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and fosters dialogue between different health professions.
