Melbourne, July 29, 2024 – The Dementia and Aging Care Research Center (DACRC) from Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) embarked on a significant visit to La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, on July 29, 2024. The primary purpose of this visit was to benchmark the management practices of research centers and initiate collaborative research efforts in the fields of dementia and aging.
The visit began with a comprehensive tour of La Trobe University’s research facilities, where DACRC representatives observed and discussed best practices in research management and operations. The tour highlighted La Trobe’s advanced approaches and innovative methods in conducting research related to dementia and aging.
During the visit, both institutions engaged in discussions about potential areas of collaboration. The focus was on leveraging La Trobe University’s expertise in dementia and aging research to enhance DACRC’s research capabilities and outcomes. Topics of discussion included joint research projects, data sharing, and development of new interventions and technologies aimed at improving the quality of life for the elderly.
A representative from DACRC emphasized the importance of this visit: “Benchmarking against established research centers like La Trobe University provides us with valuable insights and strategies that we can adapt to our own research center. Additionally, initiating a collaboration with La Trobe will enable us to expand our research horizons and develop more effective solutions for dementia and aging.”
The head of La Trobe’s research center expressed enthusiasm about the potential partnership. “We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with DACRC. Combining our expertise and resources can lead to significant advancements in dementia and aging research, ultimately benefiting both our institutions and the broader community.”
This visit marks the beginning of what is expected to be a fruitful collaboration between DACRC and La Trobe University. Both institutions are looking forward to exploring joint research opportunities and enhancing their respective contributions to the field of dementia and aging.
DACRC UNAIR is committed to building international partnerships that drive innovation and progress in the care and treatment of aging populations, and this visit to La Trobe University is a significant step in that direction.
