21st Nordic Congress of Gerontology, Copenhagen, Denmark
[Event Date: 2012-06-10 ]
The 21st Nordic Congress of Gerontology will take place on 10 to 13 June 2012 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
In almost every country, the proportion of people aged over 60 years is growing faster than any other age group. This population ageing can be seen as a success story for public health policies and for socioeconomic development, but it also challenges society to adapt, in order to maximize the health and functional capacity of older people as well as their social participation and security.
Future research will look into the dilemmas of a problem-oriented perspective versus a focus on resources balanced, evidence-based knowledge versus practical options in everyday life, and technology versus human resources.
