About the ARK Ageing Programme

The ARK Ageing Programme is a resource within ARK to support engagement between the age and academic sectors. We do this by encouraging and facilitating the production of research that will support lobbying and advocacy, and the sophisticated use of information and evidence by the age sector. In addition, we aim to embed ageing research within Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University.

The programme was initially funded by The Atlantic Philanthropies, as well as Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University, and started in October 2013.

Members of the Programme team are based across both universities, and the activities are coordinated by:

• • • Paula Devine, Queen’s University Belfast, 028 9097 3034, email p.devine@qub.ac.uk

An external evaluation process ran from 2013 to 2016.
