Temat spotkania/Topic: Participatory Approaches in Ageing Research : an Overview
In a broad understanding, participation relates to different kinds of involvement in social practices - including, but not limited to, research practices (Aner, 2016). In application to ageing research, participatory approaches hence refer to different forms of involvement of older adults in research, and is used in this contribution as an umbrella term for different approaches such as citizen sciences (CS), participatory action research (PAR), patient and public involvement (PPI), co-creation, or participatory design (PD). In this contribution I aim to present an overview of participatory approaches applied in ageing research followed by benefits and challenges that results from deploying them. I conclude that we lack a uniform definition of participation in research, as well as a consensus regarding the standards of participatory approaches and argue for further advancements of participatory approaches in ageing research.
