About ARC

The Aging Research Center was established in 2000 by Karolinska Institutet (KI) and Stockholm University (SU). It is a multidisciplinary center internationally renowned for its research on the health status of older adults, trends and inequalities among older people, brain ageing, and prevention of dementia and disability.

The long-term collaboration between SU and KI has enabled researchers at ARC to conduct high-quality interdisciplinary research in areas such as ageing and health, equal living conditions, geriatric epidemiology, and the psychology of ageing. Within these areas, we also contribute to teaching and shared responsibility for undergraduate courses and courses at an advanced level at both universities. 

Although ARC is physically and administratively located at KI, the support from SU is significant for all our activities and forms a valuable basis for achieving stability and continuity in our work. It contributes to our interdisciplinary research, facilitates collaborations with researchers at different departments at SU, and favours the use of core facilities at the Stockholm University Brain Imaging Centre to collect data.
