We're delighted to be part of this vital research into social connectivity in later life! Chair in Psychology, Professor Louise Phillips writes in this article: "By bringing together expertise from across disciplines, we can generate new knowledge that not only advances research but also informs policies and interventions that help older people remain socially connected and live healthier, more fulfilling lives."

The University of Aberdeen has secured one of just 10 prestigious Leverhulme Centenary Doctoral Scholarship awards announced across the UK, receiving up to £5 million to establish a pioneering doctoral programme exploring social connectivity in later life.
