Conferences on Aging World Wide

UC BERKELEY AGING RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION SUMMIT

Join us for a day of speakers, awards, poster sessions, and valuable networking focused on cutting-edge aging research and technologies. Our aim is no less than to reimagine aging and elder care . A percentage of the proceeds from this event will support scholarships for students interested in research on aging & elder care..

The UC Berkeley Aging Research and Technology Innovation Summit, on August 17, will highlight the educational and research mission of the University of California (UC) and its diverse and significant impact on improving the well-being of older adults. In addition to emerging research and technology updates by leading UC researchers, the program will include an overview of student and older adult education at UC Berkeley, poster sessions of student research, technology innovations, and the presentation of the Paola S. Timiras Memorial Award for Aging Research.

The goal of the innovation summit is to foster the cross-pollination of ideas and help forge new collaborations between UC researchers and leaders in industry, government, and the not-for-profit sectors, while exposing students and key stakeholders alike to a vision of healthy aging.

The Summit is hosted by several UC Berkeley aging research and education programs: Center for Research and Education in Aging (CREA), Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute (CITRIS), Center for Technology and Aging (CTA), OSHER Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), Fung Fellowship for Wellness and Technology Innovations, and the Center on the Economics and Demography of Aging (CEDA).

Our internationally acclaimed line up of speakers will deliberate on the latest research on exceptionally long-lived individuals, in particular centenarians and supercentenarians.

This two-day conference will comprise cutting edge research presentations on Friday and a synthesis of current knowledge on successful ageing suitable for the informed lay-person on Saturday.

The National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA) Conference on Aging in Indian Country is just two short months away! If you have not registered yet, make sure you register soon, as after October 10, 2018 registration fees will go up!

The 22nd NICOA Conference on Aging in Indian Country will be held at the stunning Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California from September 10-13, 2018.

We are honored to host our event among the people now known as Luiseño Indians whom have inhabited the Temecula Valley for thousands of years. They call themselves Payómkawichum (the People of the West), and are made up of seven bands: Pechanga, Pauma, Pala, Rincon, San Luis Rey, La Jolla, and Soboba. The Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians has called the Temecula Valley home for more than 10,000 years. Attendees will have the pleasure to meet the Pechanga Elders and learn about their local Silver Feathers – Elders’ Council and the significant role they continue to hold within their tribal community.

The European Ageing Network (formerly EAHSA European Association of Housing and Services for the Ageing and (www.eahsa.eu) and E.D.E. (European Association for Directors and Providers of Long Term Care Services for the Elderly, (www.ede-eu.org)) will be hosting its first joint conference “Is there a Future of Long-Term Care in Europe – What can we Learn from Each Other?”on  13-14 September 2018 in Prague, Czech Republic.

The conference features an array of speakers and presenters focused on crucial topics related to long-term care and the future of ageing in Europe. For more information, please visit the 2018 European Ageing Network Congressconference website.

The long term care in Europe is undergoing a lot of changes facing key coming challenges.
The Prague 2018 congress is specific in more ways. It´s the first European Ageing Network (former E.D.E. and EAHSA) congress and it´s opening the crucial topics. Is there a future of long term care in Europe and if yes, what is this future going to be.

We are touching the role of the European Commission and the member states in social policies. We are opening the hot topic concerning the workforce in long term care – the shortage, qualifications, workers/caregivers migration. We will talk seriously about how the coming increase of people with dementia will affect the long term care in Europe. And we will present good practices examples from various states.

Finally we will also present the European Ageing Network VISION for 2030.

A „must“ part of the congress are also two social events. One on a ship with great food, jazz music and unforgettable views of great Prague and the other in Old City Church with superb Czech Classical music.
Come to Prague in 2018 and be part of this unique event.

Workshop on the future of long-term care

What is coming our way? What does the future hold for the providers of care and services for the aged? Which trends are currently in evidence?

These are the topics that we wish to discuss with you at the LTC 2030 Workshop. This is an opportunity for you to participate, add your voice to the discussion and actively shape the future of our sector.

The EDE and EAHSA have established a joint working group and made joint preparations for the workshop in Prague. We will present the results of our research and now wish to discuss and supplement this in partnership with you.

We look forward to welcoming you.
