Collaborating with partners in practice and communities
GROW has taken the great social and practical relevance of the topic well-being into old age into account from the very beginning. The knowledge transfer of the results into society is not only taken into consideration at the end of the research work, but rather is the exchange with various stakeholders, interest groups and senior citizens themselves at the beginning and during the investigations an integrative part of the scientific debate. Cooperation with practice is therefore of central importance for GROW.
