I see the Oxford Institute of Ageing is holding its second Spring School in April, following the apparent success of its first such event last year.

An excellent aim. They identify a need for ‘an academic network focusing on skill-building and information-sharing within the global ageing research community’. The theme for the Spring School is ‘The Multi-Disciplinary Toolkit for Global Ageing Research’. Clearly the school like the
