How theories of space enrich age(ing) studies and how, in turn, the analyses of ageing and space can contribute to the social sciences at large, have been approached from different angles in France and Germany. Founded by both the French and the German Research Agencies ANR and DFG, the SPAGE project conducts a systematic theoretical comparison of the interplay between age, space, and social exclusion in France and Germany, resulting in a comprehensive theoretical framework.
At the SPAGE Kick-off workshop, an interdisciplinary group of experts from France and Germany will discuss with the members of the SPAGE team and the Advisory Board.
