The current funding of SHARE-Portugal project, which covers the period from 2018 to 2020, is higher than € 1,100.000.00 and is coordinated by CECS researcher Alice Delerue Matos, who highlights that the funding obtained enables further data collection and research. For example, it allows the collection of information on the life histories of the individuals who belong to the Portuguese panel of interviewees that is indispensable to evaluate how the conditions of existence during childhood and youth influence life at more advanced ages and how social policies are related to the living conditions of individuals. In addition, for the first time, it will be possible to collect data on the use of time and the savings made by individuals aged 50 and over, as well as to have new objective health indicators, particularly regarding cognitive function. “The scientific importance of SHARE lies in the fact that it is a multidisciplinary and longitudinal project that captures the global and dynamic nature of the aging process, enabling a comparative analysis of 27 European countries “, underlines Alice Delerue Matos:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
