Acerca de Wilhelm-Woort-Stiftung für Alternsforschung

Wilhelm-Woort-Stiftung für Alternsforschung is a small German foundation focused on applied aging research, primarily through the Wilhelm Woort Prize. It supports projects and model initiatives that improve older adults’ autonomy, participation, and care, with particular interest in practical, interdisciplinary work that can be translated into real-world use. The foundation appears to favor German-based research and initiatives addressing both positive aging and the prevention of negative aging outcomes such as isolation, loneliness, ageism, and violence.
