NordForsk has recently granted funding to five new research projects aimed at developing sustainable health and care systems for older people in the Nordic region.
One of these projects is " Building Sustainable Care Systems for Older People in the Nordic-Baltic Region (SustainCare) ", in which Carin Lennartsson , Stefan Fors , and Johan Fritzell - all researchers at the Aging Research Center (ARC) , NVS - are co-applicants.
The SustainCare project aims to identify and promote sustainable models for elder care by comparing and analysing care systems across the Nordic and Baltic countries. The project places particular emphasis on addressing the future needs of an ageing population through innovative, inclusive, and cost-effective solutions.
Professor Tine Rostgaard at Roskilde University, is the project leader of this collaborative effort involving researchers from several countries. It is based on interdisciplinary methods to generate knowledge that can inform policy development and improve care practices across the region.
