The Institute for Lifecourse Development (ILD) at the University of Greenwich provides a hub of interdisciplinary expertise to promote the lifelong wellbeing of vulnerable and marginalised people in the community. Researchers from the ILD stem from psychology, sociology, public health, education, economics, mental health, criminology and law. The ILD is an anchor unit of research excellence embedded in the community, working in close partnership with an extensive network of private, public and third sector organisations to tackle global challenges and solve real and pressing problems that impact our society.
