Today, the members of the network were invited to contribute with input on what they want SAIN to work with in the future. And what they themselves want to get out of the network.
– We also divided ourselves into smaller groups to discuss interdisciplinary research questions and possible research that we could carry out together within the network, such as the connection between social relationships and health in older adults, and interventions such as social prescribing, says Anna Nivestam, SWEAH alumna and member of SAIN's steering group in addition to her work as a researcher and senior lecturer at Kristianstad University.
The idea is that SAIN's strategic plan will be completed in the autumn. The network is planning more meetings to create new interdisciplinary research collaborations within SAIN, with a focus on ageing and health. The network will also hold a pre-meeting in connection with SWEAH's conference in November.
