Healthy Ageing Research Director

老年人通过志愿服务、照料活动、退休后从事正规就业以及消费者和企业家，对经济和社会作出了巨大贡献。然而，老龄化是一个商业和工业仍需认识到的机会。产业战略的总体目标是提高创新和生产率。在这样做的过程中，我们需要考虑老年人在实现这一目标方面的作用。它还寻求改善幸福感，为到2035年多活5年的健康独立生活做出贡献，并缩小最富有和最贫穷之间的差距。为了实现这一目标，作为研究主任，朱迪思·菲利普斯教授将领导和管理一个跨学科研究的社会、行为和设计研究计划，该计划寻求通过一系列研究项目、知识交流活动和能力建设为创新提供证据基础和平台。老年人将是这一研究方案的核心，共同制作并与学术界、商界和业界利益攸关方、政策和实践社区合作，以塑造、实施该方案并产生影响。研究主任将为来自不同学科和环境的研究人员和利益攸关方创造一个充满活力的环境，在这个环境中，可以围绕包容性设计(例如环境、服务和产品设计)、行为变化、组织变化和生命过程(例如代际和生命过渡)探索想法、新的和新颖的思维和创新。将通过在方案中各项目之间的共享学习，通过定期会议和机会来形成跨学科、挑战驱动和有影响力的研究文化，从而将各项活动结合在一起。这项旗舰研究计划将展示艺术、人文和社会科学如何成为工业策略和健康安老项目组合的主要贡献者。作为健康安老挑战的倡导者，菲利普斯教授将通过沟通、公众和商业参与的策略，确保该计划的项目成果惠及广泛的最终用户。这些机构将利用现有的有影响力的新网络和一系列媒体，将方案中的研究转化为商业、公共和第三部门，以确保产生影响，从而实现工业战略的雄心。研究总监将是健康老龄化挑战的关键联络点和思想领袖，与来自住房和建筑部门、零售、媒体和第三部门等领域的合作伙伴合作。例子包括住房林、便利店协会和Age UK。将特别强调地方的重要性和下放政府在实现研究方案和健康老龄化挑战方面的作用。将与其他产业战略挑战领域，如流动性和清洁增长的未来，以及挑战基金领域，如未来的受众，以及英国和国际上的类似倡议，建立联系。研究主任还将重点关注健康老龄化挑战的可持续性，重点是在早期职业生涯和新的老龄研究人员中建设能力，吸引代表不足的学科的研究人员加入该方案，并通过为未来健康老龄化研究制定路线图。

The contribution of older people to the economy and society, through volunteering, caregiving activities, engagement in formal employment past retirement as well as consumers and entrepreneurs, is considerable. Yet ageing is an opportunity that business and industry have still to realise. The overall aim of the Industrial Strategy is to improve innovation and productivity. In doing so we need to consider the role of older people in making this a reality. It also seeks to improve wellbeing contributing to 5 extra years of healthy independent life by 2035 and to narrow the gap between the richest and poorest.To achieve this, as Research Director, Professor Judith Phillips will lead and manage a Social, Behavioural and Design Research programme of interdisciplinary research which seeks to provide an evidence base and platform for innovation through a suite of research projects, knowledge exchange activity and capacity building. Older people will be at the heart of this research programme co-producing and working alongside academic, business and industry stakeholders, policy and practice communities to shape, conduct and create impact from the programme. The Research Director will create a vibrant environment for researchers and stakeholders from a wide variety of disciplines and environments where ideas, new and novel thinking and innovation can be explored around inclusive design (e.g. environments, services and product design); behavioural change; organisational change; and the life course (e.g. intergenerational and life transitions). Activities will be drawn together through shared learning across projects in the programme with regular meetings and opportunities to shape the research culture which is interdisciplinary, challenge-driven and impactful. The flagship programme of research will showcase how arts, humanities and social sciences are central contributors to the Industrial Strategy and the Healthy Ageing portfolio.As a champion of the Healthy Ageing Challenge, Professor Phillips will ensure the project outputs from the programme reach a wide range of end users through strategies for communication, public and business engagement. These will translate the research in the programme to business, public and third sectors drawing on existing influential and new networks and a range of media to ensure impact thus realising the ambitions of the Industrial Strategy. The Research Director will be a key contact point and thought leader for the Healthy Ageing challenge, working with partners from the housing and construction sector, retail, media and third sector amongst others. Examples include Housing LIN, the Association of Convenience Stores and Age UK. Particular emphasis will be on the importance of place and the role of devolved government in realising the research programme and the Healthy Ageing Challenge. Links will be built with other Industrial Strategy challenge areas such as the future of mobility and clean growth as well as challenge fund areas such as the audience of the future and with similar initiatives both across the UK and internationally. The Research Director will also focus on the sustainability of the Healthy Ageing Challenge with an emphasis on building capacity amongst early career and new researchers to ageing, drawing researchers into the programme from underrepresented disciplines and through the development of a roadmap for future research in Healthy Ageing.
