The Strathclyde Ageing Network (SAN) is a University-wide research group, comprising over 100 multidisciplinary, ageing-related postgraduates and academics across all four faculties of the University, along with external partners. 'Ageing Better' is a core research theme of Strathclyde's research, and our members have expertise in a range of topics including psychology, education, and computer and information science. Our research studies use a variety of approaches such as experimental, qualitative, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging. We meet regularly throughout the academic year and often give public engagement events, for example via the University's Engage week. SAN is also a member organisation of the Scottish Older People's Assembly.
Dr Louise Brown Nicholls (School of Psychological Sciences & Health) is SAN Director. A list of our members, and our range of expertise, may be viewed below. You can also follow our activities via our Social Media (X) account: @StrathAgeing.
The University of Strathclyde is an Age-Friendly University in an Age-Friendly city! Please visit the Age-Friendly Academy website for further information regarding the broader ageing-related interests and provision at Strathclyde, including the Centre for Lifelong Learning.
