arc uulm is a center of exchange for researchers and institutions within Ulm University that are interested in and want to contribute to aging research. 

It provides a platform for aging research among distinct disciplines and is translational in its nature. 

arc uulm favors and supports any efforts that aim at supporting the elderly and obtain funding to achieve these aims. 

Translational aging research needs to be highly interdisciplinary, and thus profits from a center type of setting to build bridges among the disciplines. 

Translational or applied aging research needs to strengthen existing and might need to develop novel ways of interaction and communication.
