Uniting Science and Innovation for Sustainable Aging
CRIUGM aims to position itself as a leader in aging research by integrating innovation, interdisciplinarity, and social impact. Its strategic objectives are organized into two categories: scientific and organizational.
Scientific Objectives
Objective 1. Advance fundamental and clinical scientific knowledge on the brain and aging.
Objective 2. Better identify the factors that influence aging trajectories and the lived experience of older adults.
Objective 3. Develop, evaluate, and implement integrative and personalized interventions with a focus on sustainable health.
Objective 4. Accelerate research in digital health and data science and engineering.
Objective 5. Promote social innovation through the development and maintenance of research ecosystems based on participatory approaches.
Organizational Objectives
Strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration
- Bring together research themes and shared platforms to support an integrative approach to sustainable health.
- Foster synergy between researchers, clinicians, and partners.
Create an inclusive and innovative environment
- Implement Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) practices to ensure equitable access to resources and enhance quality of work life.
Stimulate open science
- Develop tools for data sharing, with an emphasis on ethics and co-creation with stakeholders.
A Strategic Link with Research Themes
CRIUGM’s strategic objectives are closely aligned with the five research themes that structure its scientific activities: neuroscience, aging trajectories, sustainable health interventions, digital health, and social innovation. These themes form the framework through which the objectives are achieved, supporting complementarity across fundamental, translational, and applied research. By integrating these themes, CRIUGM maximizes its impact on the understanding and support of aging, while fostering synergy among platforms, units, and partners.
