Work Packages
Work Packages (WPs) sare key components in tracking the progress of the SysAge project. Each WP is designed with specific objectives that contribute to achieving our overarching goals in improving UTARTU to make progress in the study of healthy ageing. Below, you’ll find an overview of these objectives.
To ensure transparency and accountability, we will provide annual updates on the WPs, highlighting the objectives that have been met and any significant milestones achieved. These updates will allow you to stay informed about our progress and understand the ongoing impact of our work.
