Faced with the multiple challenges of population ageing (social, health, political and economic), the Institute of Longevity, Old ages and Ageing (ILVV) is a research structure (GIS) carried by nine partners: Cnav, CNRS, CNSA, Drees, EPHE, Ined, Inserm, University of Paris-Dauphine and Lorraine University.

ILVV takes a multi-faceted view of old ages in order to understand the great diversity of situations. They are driven by multiple life paths and changes in resources, aspirations and needs over the life course. ILVV embraces a broad definition of ageing, considered at both the individual and population levels.

ILVV supports multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches in the human and social sciences by implementing structuring activities. They are shaping four missions: to know, to make known, to animate and support and to foster dialogue.
