Juliet Craig

Senior Research Manager ERA-AGE 2 / FUTURAGE (BA (Hons), MSc)

Academic Profile

Juliet joined the Department in April 2009, to manage two Framework Programme 7 funded projects in European ageing research: ERA-AGE 2, the European Research Area in Ageing, and FUTURAGE - The Road Map for Ageing Research.

ERA-AGE 2 is the continuation of a successful project that has run under Framework Programme 6 since 2004, coordinating ageing research in 11 countries across Europe. Ambitions for the next 3 years include a second post-doctoral fellowship funding call (the FLARE programme); summer schools for current and new FLARE fellows; a series of European FORUMs to engage stakeholders in the European ageing challenge; expansion and update of research infrastructure databases, and; securing commitment from partners to the future of ERA-AGE through a joint call for ageing research, the NEDA project (New European Dynamics of Ageing), to run from 2012 onward.

FUTURAGE is a two-year project that will develop a road map for ageing research in Europe until 2025. This is a unique and unprecedented project, supported by 24 partners in 13 countries across Europe, to create an authoritative, multi-disciplinary, cross-European strategy for ageing research for the next 15 years. The project runs until 2011 and comprises a series of consensus building activities to gather input from scientists, stakeholders and users of ageing research to produce the definitive road map for ageing research.

Juliet has worked in research and information management since 1998, most recently at Creative Sheffield, supporting the development of Sheffield's economy, labour market, urban environment and knowledge economy.
