Carla Greubel is a Ph.D. candidate in Science and Technology Studies (STS) at Utrecht University. In her dissertation, she studies enactments of ‘good ageing’ in and across three different but interrelated contexts:

1.  the European ageing and innovation policy discourse,
2. the GATEKEEPER project, a H2020 large-scale implementation pilot on digital innovations for ageing in place, and
3. the everyday lives of older citizens living in pilot regions in Italy and the UK.

Drawing on empirical ethics of care, in particular, she investigates how among different ideas about and practices of living a ‘good’ ageing life, some come to (temporarily) matter more while others are marginalised. Her methods include policy discourse analysis, qualitative interviews, and ethnographic fieldwork. Together with her team at Utrecht University, Carla is responsible for coordinating and contributing to the co-creation line of activities in the GATEKEEPER project, including the design and preparation of two cycles of stakeholder engagement workshops organized in nine pilot regions across seven European countries. Carla is the secretary of the Socio-gerontechnology Network.
