Our co-directors, Mathieu Belanger and Said Mekari PhD, have been hard at work advancing the TRAJECTORY project alongside an incredible team of international collaborators.
This exciting initiative explores the transition to retirement to better understand what supports active and healthy aging.
TRAJECTORY brings together researchers from nine universities across six countries — Austria, Canada, France, Italy, Portugal, and Romania — and embraces an approach that is both interdisciplinary and participatory.
We’re proud to be part of this important work shaping healthier futures for older adults.
