LIFE Research Institute

The LIFE Research Institute (LRI) is an action-oriented research hub that takes a comprehensive approach to aging by advancing knowledge and training on the physical, mental and social factors that impact quality of life throughout the life trajectory. In essence: Live long, live well and with choices.

Working in close collaboration with our partners, such as ILC-Canada, the Institute draws on all faculties, on academics from other organizations, members of the private sector, policy makers, practitioners and members of civil society to answer questions in need of evidence from several sectors.
