Institute of Longevity, Old Age and Aging
Alongside 8 other institutions (CNAV, CNRS, CNSA, DREES, INED, Inserm, Université Paris-Dauphine and Université de Lorraine), the EPHE-PSL has been a member of the Institute of Longevity, Old Age and Aging since its creation in 2018. Indeed, following the assessment of the existence of barriers between the different disciplines dealing with ageing and the need to address this issue more generally, the EPHE-PSL took an interest, as from 2010, in the challenges of population ageing by creating its 3rd institute, the Transdisciplinary Institute for the Study of Ageing (ITEV).
This is the context of common questioning in which the EPHE-PSL participates in the governance and reflections carried out by the Institute. Indeed, the ILVV supports interdisciplinary scientific approaches in the humanities and social sciences in this field and aims to structure them in order to respond to the challenges of demographic transitions currently taking place and building major social, economic and medical challenges. As part of these activities, one of the missions of the ILVV is to publicize French teams and their research through the scientific events that it supports or organizes; it also aims to build bridges between the different fields of research. The EPHE-PSL contributes to this mission of disseminating knowledge and, more broadly, to the transmission and transfer of knowledge to civil society. The EPHE-PSL is also asked to participate in the events organized by the Institute, for example as a member of the scientific committee and organizer of debates in the context of its symposium scheduled for 2022.
