Summer Institute on Ageing 2020

Long Term Care

June 15-19, 2020 (8th edition)

 

VIU Scientific Coordinator: Agar Brugiavini, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & Venice International University (VIU)

In 2020 the Summer Institute on Ageing will reach its 8th edition. The Summer Institute provides students and early-career researchers with a multidisciplinary and rigorous understanding of the ageing process, ranging from some basic notions of the medical and epidemiological literature, to an extensive treatment of economics (pensions and retirement, ageing in society and intergenerational relationships) and of the sociological dimensions (intergenerational transfers, role of family networks).
A special focus is the use of large micro-data sets, such as SHARE (Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe) and sister surveys (HRS, ELSA, CHARLS)

 

Organising Committee: Agar Brugiavini, Stefania Maggi, Jürgen Maurer, Giacomo Pasini, Guglielmo Weber.

Contributing member universities:
• Ca’ Foscari University of Venice
• National Research Council of Italy
• University of Lausanne
• University of Padua

The following scientists and researchers will contribute to 2020 Summer Institute on Ageing:

Agar Brugiavini, Ca' Foscari University of Venice & Venice International University (VIU), IT
Stefania Maggi, Institute of Neuroscience, National Research Council of Italy, IT
Jürgen Maurer, University of Lausanne, CH
Giacomo Pasini, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, IT
Guglielmo Weber, University of Padua, IT

 

Which are the main activities?

• Presentations in the fields of biomedicine, geriatrics, genetics, epidemiology, patient care, psychiatry, as well as economics of ageing, pension economics and finance, health economics, public health, demography and sociology;
• Hands-on sessions: presentation of the survey data on ageing available to the scientific community focusing on datasets such as SHARE;
• Poster sessions and other activities: discussing the participants’ research with the senior scholars;
• Interactive sessions, such as “tutoring sessions”, aimed at giving participants the opportunity to discuss their own research ideas with senior speakers in individual or small group meetings.

What’s special about the Institute?

Attending the school means developing transversal competences because the approach is multidisciplinary, and those who have a specific economic or sociological background will know more about medical advances in ageing research, learning the specific language in which MDs deal with these issues as well.
High-level policy makers or officials who may also take part in this programme will be able to learn how to connect issues between the health dimension of ageing and the economic dimension of ageing.

Learning Outcomes

Double learning outcomes: on one hand, participants will gain more insight into the recent advances of the ageing process from a theoretical and practical point of view, and will be able to evaluate the impact of these advances (e.g. health care costs); on the other hand participants will take part into a “hands-on” session that will teach them how to use the data behind the research effort in this area. Hence participants will gain both subject-related competence in handling large data sets on ageing, which do contain relevant information on health conditions, but also economic conditions. Finally, participants will be able to develop models which can predict the relevance of policies, such as reforms in the Long Term care dimension.

Who can apply?

Graduates, PhD students and post-doc scholars in economics, statistics, social sciences and medicine, but also professionals in the pharmaceutical and ageing care industries.

What’s the relevance of the school?

Ageing population is a major concern for many European countries. The ageing process is a complex process involving several dimensions, from the health dimension to the socio-economic context. In order to achieve a better understanding of how to guarantee successful ageing in Europe, it is crucial to take account jointly of these different dimensions, and to develop welfare models that enhance the resource aspect of an ageing population: from labour supply (experience), to family care, etc.
Future generations of researchers will have to address the challenge of ageing with a multidisciplinary background, both in their academic career and in operational activities, and policy making as well. This is true also for firms (and managers) which will have to adjust to an ageing work-force and to make the best of the skills that these workers will offer. It is clear that this research agenda has a huge impact on public finances, ranging from Health care and Long term care spending, to Pensions and Social Security.

ECTS equivalence: 2

Agar Brugiavini is full professor of Economics at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. She has investigated the behaviour of individuals and household both in the area of consumption and saving and in the area of labour supply. In particular, she is interested in the effects of pension reforms on household’s saving decisions, in retirement choices and in the insurance aspects of pension arrangements. More recently she has looked at the relationship between health conditions and economic behaviour.

Stefania Maggi is Senior Researcher at the National Research Council of Italy, Aging Section-Institute of Neuroscience. She holds a Degree of Doctor in Medicine and Surgery at the School of Medicine, University of Padua, Italy, a Master in Public Health - Department of Epidemiology, The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, and a PhD in Pathophysiology School of Medicine, University of Padua, Italy. She is author of about 170 publications in peer-reviewed national and international journals.

Jürgen Maurer is Director of the Institute of Economics and Management of Healthcare at the University of Lausanne. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the European University Institute in Florence, Italy.
