AGE-WELL Summer Institute at UPEI

Posting Date(s)

AGE-WELL Summer Institute is coming to UPEI July 7-11 and is holding 2-3 Summer Institute slots for UPEI masters, graduate students or postdocs fellows (a very keen 4th year undergrad is also feasible). We are requesting nominations from UPEI students to fill those slots within the next couple weeks.

What is AGE-WELL?

AGE-WELL is Canada's technology and aging network. We have mobilized a vast community of researchers, partner organizations, older adults, caregivers, and future leaders to accelerate the delivery of technology-based solutions that make a meaningful difference in the lives of Canadians.

UPEI students do not have to be a member of AGE-WELL to apply – this is an opportunity of a lifetime an experience you will value the rest of your life.  The students from other parts of Canada have already been selected and will be from different disciplines. There will be 3 groups of students each group will be working on a different challenge and each of the UPEI students will be assigned to one of the groups.

It is roughly a 9-5 commitment each day (some evening teamwork is usually necessary). Lunch and snacks will be provided to UPEI attendees (but not accommodations or breakfast).

Please email Olive at obryanton@upei.ca if you are interested in attending and she will pass your name on to the AGE-WELL organizers.
