Centre for Research on Successful Ageing (ROSA)

sharing

Built on the Centre for Research on Successful Ageing (ROSA)’s strong research foundations, the Longevity Societies and Economies Institute (LSEI) advances high‑quality, policy‑relevant research on ageing and well‑being in Singapore and across Asia. ROSA has established a robust research platform anchored in high‑frequency surveys and longitudinal panels, positioning SMU as a regional hub within the global network of ageing research centres. LSEI extends and scales these capabilities to address the complex, multi‑dimensional challenges of longevity.
