Prize for Promising Researcher in Gerontology 2024

The prize for Promising Researcher in Gerontology 2024 is awarded to Kaisa Koivunen, University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

At the 27NKG in Stockholm, the Nordic Gerontological Federation Prize for Promising Researcher will be awarded for the 6th time, this year to Kaisa Koivunen from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The prize is specifically intended for a promising researcher from the host country of the upcoming Nordic Congress of Gerontology, with the stipulation that the candidate does not hold a senior position.

The recipient of the NGF Prize 2024 is a versatile researcher specializing in gerontology. Her primary interests lie in public health, physical functioning, and specifically, systemic resilience and psychometrics. Her foundational education includes a Master of Health Sciences (Physiotherapy).

In 2021, Koivunen defended her doctoral thesis entitled “Resilience in Old Age: Physical Performance and Psychosocial Factors in Changing Sociocultural Contexts and as a Resource in Adversities” at the University of Jyväskylä. Since then, she has continued her academic pursuits as a postdoctoral researcher within the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the same university. Currently, she is immersed in her research project titled “Resilience and Aging Well: A Complex Systems Approach”.

We invite you to join us at the 27NKG congress, where Kaisa Koivunen will deliver a lecture during the prize ceremony.
