EuroAgeNet: European Partnerships in Ageing Science

这个由“ECMage”领导的应用程序是来自英国老龄化网络的5个联合应用程序；ECMage（细胞外基质（ECM）老化跨生命过程跨学科研究网络），CFIN（认知脆弱跨学科研究网络），Food4Years（延长生命年的食品：将研究付诸行动），BLAST（老化科学和翻译的建立联系）和AGENTS（老化和营养感知网络）。该提案旨在建立一个由欧洲各地的研究人员、机构和研究中心组成的网络（EuroAgeNet），以促进和发展老龄化研究理念、项目、研究成果和对老龄化人口的积极成果。网络内的合作企业将得到支持，对往返英国的工作人员进行双边范围考察，随后进行有针对性的技能培训交流访问，以及培训活动或讲习班。为了将欧洲的研究人员与英国的研究人员聚集在一起，该网络将举办活动，使研究人员能够深入讨论他们的研究兴趣，并加强对互补研究领域的理解。这些活动旨在为老龄化过程的关键方面创造跨学科的见解，使主要研究人员能够应对有针对性的研究资助机会，并将他们的知识转化为老龄化人口的现实利益。

This application led by 'ECMage' is a joint application from 5 of the UK Ageing Networks; ECMage (Extracellular Matrix (ECM) ageing across the life course interdisciplinary research network), CFIN (Cognitive Frailty Interdisciplinary Network), Food4Years (Food for-added-life-years: putting research into action), BLAST (Building Links in Ageing Science and Translation) and AGENTS (Ageing and Nutrient Sensing Network). The proposal aims to create a network of researchers, Institutions and Research Centres across Europe (EuroAgeNet) to catalyse and develop ageing research ideas, projects, research findings and positive outcomes for the ageing population. Collaborative ventures within the network will be supported with bilateral scoping visits for staff to and from the UK, subsequently followed by targeted exchange visits for skills training, and training events or workshops. To bring together researchers across Europe with UK researchers, the network will run events to enable researchers to talk in depth about their research interests, and enhance understanding of areas of complementary research. Such activities are designed to create cross-disciplinary insights into key aspects of the ageing process, to prime researchers to respond to opportunities for targeted research funding and to translate their knowledge into real-life benefits for the ageing population.
