E-MigrAgeing: Sustainable Ageing of Migrant Populations in Sweden and Japan and their Transnational families in the Framework of Digital Technologies

Project description: In 2022, I received funding, together with colleagues from Karlstad University and Toyo University, through MIRAI 2.0 and Vinnova to organise a conference on ageing, migration, and digital technologies. The event took place on May 11–12, 2022, at Karlstad University and was delivered in a blended format. With our invited speakers, we explored the experiences and technological knowledge of ageing migrants in Japan and the Nordic countries, focusing particularly on solutions to support sustainable ageing and the livelihoods of migrant communities.
Role: PI
Funding: This project is funded by the Intsam, a collaboration of Swedish research funding agencies, through Vinnova – Sweden’s Innovation Agency, in collaboration with MIRAI2.0.
