The Intercontinental Alliance for Integrated Care (IAIC) is a global initiative launched by Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) to address healthcare challenges, particularly those related to aging populations and chronic diseases. In this project, the UBC IDEA Lab is collaborating with global researchers from Singapore, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Britain, Brunei, and Canada to examine ageing perceptions cross-nationally. The purpose of this research is to better understand how older adults define and experience aging and aging well. Their project seeks to explore how elderly individuals across different cultures perceive the ageing process, and what factors influence these perceptions. They also want to understand what ageing well means to elderly individuals in various cultural contexts, and what factors contribute to their ability to age well.
