Aging Studies Associate Professor to Consult in Slovenia

Debra Dobbs, PhD, received funding from the Republic of Slovenia for a Cooperative International grant as a partner with researchers from the Mediterranean Institute For Advanced Studies (MEDIFAS), housed in the Primorska Technology Park on the border between Slovenia and Italy. The Principal Investigator from MEDIFAS from Slovenia is Dr. Marija Bogataj, Professor of Operations of Research and Statistics at the University of Ljubljana, and a founding member of MEDIFAS. Dr. Dobbs will be traveling to Portoroz, Slovenia this month to present some of her research to the scientific community and consult on the project. The objective of this project is to introduce the model for planning of long-term care services and housing for older adults in Slovenia, based on a multiple decrement model.
