As a partner institution of the European CAPAGE project, Santa Maria Health School participated in the 4th Transnational Meeting and Workshop, dedicated to the theme “Academic-Healthcare Collaboration in Ageing”, which took place from 8 to 12 June 2026 in Graz, Austria.
The event was hosted by the University of Applied Sciences FH JOANNEUM and brought together the partner institutions of the consortium. Over several days of collaborative work, participants shared best practices, reflected on the project’s outcomes, and aligned the next stages of implementation. The meeting contributed to strengthening institutional and professional competencies in the field of healthy ageing.
