With a view to informing a holistic understanding of later life in public policy, the ICSG conducts research on ageing and the life course that responds to gaps in scientific knowledge, policy and practice, while promoting the diversity of ageing experiences.
The work of the ICSG is particularly focused on supporting the voice of marginalised groups of the older population, and integrating these perspectives into research and public policy design and development.

The ICSG hosts and Chairs two European COST Actions which are innovative research and networking platforms funded by the COST Association.
ILAS is a designated research institute for the applied social sciences at the University of Galway which is committed to enabling and supporting critical transitions across people’s lives. Given that the work of the ICSG embraces a life-course perspective our links with ILAS and constituent partners is fundamental to our strategic development.
