In recent years, some universities have become increasingly interested in equipping an innovative role as the Age-Friendly University(AFU) as well as that of the traditional educational and research institutions within the context of an aging society. Specifically, the Age-Friendly role of local universities is being attracted wide attention because the university has been a core community organization with the capacity to effectively and aggressively address aging issues through its professional manpower and physical infrastructure of various majors. The purpose of this study is to suggest the applicable implications of the introduction of the AFU among the local universities by analyzing in-depth the case of Dublin City University(DCU) in Ireland, which is the first case in the world to implement the AFU from the official university policy and strategical perspectives. The study found that the case of the AFU of DCU does not be remained in the aged friendly policy centered on a single university, but is based on the solid inter-organizational partnership and mutual cooperation between the central government and the local community through the aging-friendly community governance, to actively and preemptively respond to the aging issue. Therefore, it suggests that the local university’s role and policy direction for the aged society in the future and the practical solution for the aging problems can be introduced in Korea.
