PhD-course: Challenges in Ageing Societies – Care work, technologies, dementia, and ethics. A transnational, multidisciplinary PhD-course – 2023
In 2021, and 2023, 32 doctoral students from 16 universities and 10 countries were graduated by the Malmö University (2021) and Roskilde University (2023), implemented in close transnational collaboration within the multi-disciplinary teacher-team. The course has in several ways showed the importance of multidisciplinary, cross-border collaboration in meeting societal challenges out of the Aging Society. The doctoral students participating had a background in several different areas such as natural sciences, social sciences and humanities; sociology, nursing science, social work, political science, health science, media education, psychology. The course contributed to develop and increase knowledge, perspectives and (network) contacts among the PhD Students, based upon recent research and multi-disciplinary perspectives.
