He is principal investigator in a joint project with the Université de Paris, focused on evaluating the effectiveness of public Long-Term Care services in preventing negative health outcomes among older Europeans. He is the co-investigator for the IN-CARE project – a new Open Research Area (ORA) funded project on inequalities in formal and informal care utilisation and provision across Europe and the UK.
He is also lead investigator for the WORKLONG project, an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) project within the Joint Initiative Programme that examines how pension reform influences the health and wellbeing of older workers.
