Örebro University’s strategic initiative on Successful Ageing currently consists of two graduate research schools focusing on interdisciplinary collaboration between the university’s three faculties:

In the Successful ageing, graduate school research is being carried out on ageing and the opportunities offered by successful ageing. We are developing theories on Successful ageing and relating them to a contemporary Nordic perspective.

The Newbreed PhD programme is partly financed by the EU Horizon 2020 programme, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programmes (MSCA COFUND). During 2018, 16 international doctoral students were hired from 14 different countries.
