Brussels – It’s a prestigious new milestone for the University of Macerata. The European Commission formally launched the project “Grage – Grey and green in Europe: elderly living in urban areas”, led by the University of Macerata. The EC’s contribution, granted within its research funding program Horizon 2020, totals €828.000, of which €198.000 were assigned directly to the University of Macerata. The highly interdisciplinary project lasts four years, focusing on two of the major challenges that Europe has to face: its aging population and environmental sustainability. (9Colonne)
