A major new €10 million initiative in the social sciences at National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG), the Lifecycle Institute, has just been launched.
Funded by philanthropic donations and in collaboration with the Atlantic Philanthropies, the Lifecycle Institute is aimed at advancing an integrated approach to policy and services research for older people, children and families and people with disabilities.
The multidisciplinary facility in a state-of-the-art new facility will integrate and advance the work being done in the three existing centres at NUIG – the Child and Family Resource Centre, the Disability Law and Policy Centre and the Irish Centre for Social Gerontology.
