In June 2008, the Research Centre on Aging (CSSS-IUGS) celebrated its 20th anniversary.
In 1988, Dr. Réjean Hébert, the current dean of the faculty of medicine and health sciences of the Université de Sherbrooke, was mandated to create a research centre on gerontology and geriatrics. "We dreamt of giving Sherbrooke and Quebec a new research centre on aging. To me, this project was essential if we wanted to solve the problems which have since become current in Quebec society and in the healthcare system," noted Dr. Hébert.
It has been recognized as a research institute of the Université de Sherbrooke since 2005.
Prior to then, it was recognized as:
- 1991: An emerging team by the Fonds de recherché en santé du Québec (FRSQ);
- 1995: A research group (FRSQ);
- 1997: A centre of excellence of the Université de Sherbrooke (U. de S.);
- 1998: A research centre (FRSQ);
- 2003: A research centre of the internal program for the financing of infrastructures (U. de S.);
- 2005: Institut de recherche de l’Université de Sherbrooke.
To commemorate its 20th anniversary, the Research Centre on Aging published a brochure entitled Carnet des 20 ans. It evokes the history of the Centre and the stakes involved in aging research.
