Active Ageing

In the Active Aging lab, we are looking at the important concept of ageing well. The proportion of older people in our society continues to increase, so it becomes all the more important to improve people's ability to maintain their health, participate in social life and improve their quality of life as they age.

Welcome to the Active Ageing Lab. On this page you will find information about our team, current projects and latest news.

We investigate active ageing in two ways: (1) exploring how to move and how this can be reported, (2) maintaining and increasing mobility, which includes interventions and resulting changes. The lab's target groups range from young adults to people in old age, with a spectrum from healthy people to people in care. In cooperation with international project partners, many exciting projects are developed, which are scientifically relevant and find their application in reality. More information to our currently running projects can be found here

We are open to applications for research internships as well as bachelor and master theses. Please contact our colleague Ellen Bentlage and describe in which of the following projects you would like to become active:

Active Ageing Lab hat PROCare4Life erfolgreich abgeschlossen

Unsere Mitglieder des Active Ageing Labs der Universität Münster haben zusammen mit den anderen 13 Projektpartnern erfolgreich die Ziele des PROCare4Life-Projekts “Personalised Integrated Care Promoting Quality of Life for Older People” erreicht, welches von Januar 2020 bis Juni 2023 lief. Entwickelt wurde ein interaktives Pflegesystem für Menschen mit chronischen Krankheiten, für ihre Betreuer und für Gesundheitsfachkräfte. Wir sind sehr stolz darauf, dass die Universität Münster mit dem großartigen Konsortium an diesem spannenden Horizon-Projekt der Europäischen Union teilnehmen konnte.
