The European Centre for Gerontology was originally established as the Institute of Gerontology set up in 1989 to develop interdisciplinary teaching, education and research in a wide range of areas in the field of ageing. Its postgraduate courses present a unique opportunity for a systematic multidisciplinary training in Gerontology and Geriatrics. The diploma course was designed by an international group of experts during a meeting convened in 1989 by the International Institute on Aging, United Nations - Malta, and with the participation of representatives of ILO, WHO, and UNESCO.

Through the variety of its courses, the Centre provides opportunities for the correlation of theory and practice and experience in innovative practices, service planning and delivery.

The Centre is also responsible for the running of a University of the Third Age, pre-retirement programmes and national and international seminars.
