The principal goal of the Vontobel Award for Research on Age(ing) is to support gerontological research in Switzerland originating from any field of science referring to age(ing). One purpose is to encourage knowledge transfer between research and practice. Another important scope is to make this knowledge public and to improve the understanding of aging throughout society in order to demonstrate possibilities for solidarity among different generations, age groups and professionals within the field of gerontology.
