欧美高清 Ageing Network

The 欧美高清 Ageing Network (SAN) is a University-wide research group, comprising over 100 multidisciplinary, ageing-related postgraduates and academics across all four faculties of the University, along with external partners. 'Ageing Better' is a core research theme of 欧美高清's research, and our members have expertise in a range of topics including psychology, education, pharmacy, biomedical sciences, computer and information science, and many more. Our research studies use a variety of approaches such as experimental, qualitative, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging. We meet regularly throughout the academic year and often give public engagement events, for example via the University's Engage week. SAN is also a member organisation of the .

Professor Louise Brown Nicholls (Department of Psychological Sciences & Health) is SAN Director. A list of our members, and our range of expertise, may be viewed below. You can also follow our activities via our social media (X) account: .
