King's College London's Institute of Gerontology stands as a globally renowned hub for gerontological research and education. Established in 1986, the Institute pioneers interdisciplinary studies and academic programs, serving as a vital connection between social and clinical sciences. It maintains extensive partnerships with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine, and the Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care, along with strong ties to King's Health Partners. This collaboration unites King's College London, a top-tier research university, with three leading NHS Foundation Trusts (Guy's and St Thomas', King's College Hospital, and South London and Maudsley).
The Institute's diverse funding sources demonstrate its interdisciplinary approach, with support from UK Research Councils (including ESRC, MRC, EPSRC & AHRB), numerous charities focused on elderly welfare, and government bodies such as the Department for Work & Pensions and the Department of Health.
