The Future of Ageing 2017: Transforming Tomorrow Today – 29th November 2017
Time for Transformation, a new ‘normal’ – where society has aligned and adapted to the fact we are living longer.
The world is going through turbulent times. But one thing is certain – it is getting older.
ILC-UK has been active for 16 years and have witnessed some significant change over this time. Yet progress has been far too slow and we are still talking about issues which should have been solved 10 years ago.
This conference will aim to reinvigorate those of us already convinced of the importance of ageing. But to achieve the transformation we need must reach beyond the usual suspects. We need businesses, entrepreneurs, people managers, and marketing professionals to work with the charity sector and policy makers and politicians to deliver change. And we need to help provide the evidence to make the case for action.
Our third conference will seek to kick-start that transformation. It won’t be a run of the mill “ageing” conference. It will be different. We will challenge and energise you. We want the conference to lead to change.
If we are to make the most of the opportunity of age we need to engage businesses and community leaders to act.
We want everyone to come away learning something new and with a plan to act. We will set the groundwork to inspire and support government, business and voluntary organisations to better prepare, adapt and prosper in a longer-lived society. The conference will reach new businesses and other stakeholders.
You will disagree with some of what our presenters have to say. That’s fine, the Future of Ageing Conference is a place to have these honest debates. And you will get the opportunity to have your say.
The Future of Ageing Conference will
- be brave enough to have the honest conversations we need to have
- convene experts and innovators
- challenge our own prejudices and yours
- debate some of the big issues
- avoid stereotyping. We won’t let people generalise about older or younger people or even about cohorts. Saying “The baby boomers X” will be banned.
- debating the evidence rather than present it
- avoid “the ageing Cliché”
- try and cause mischief and have some fun
- invite unexpected contributors to talk about the big and familiar issues
- challenge every speaker
- Insist speakers focus on the transforming tomorrow today
But we won’t…
- repeat what people already know. Before the conference delegates will get a short factpack setting out the evidence
- allow presenters to show us showing population pyramids (we all know we are ageing)
- pretend that ageing is always good and that old age is always the best time of our lives. Too many older people spend too much of their time alone, in poor health, with only the TV for company
- let people say “The fact we are living longer is a good thing”. It doesn’t need to be said. And it undermines the fact that for too many people today, old age isn’t a good or happy time
- try to sex up ageing or pretend there are simple solutions
- let anyone use imagery of older people’s hands in their presentation. And we won’t have any smiling studio shots of older people on the beach
The British Society of Gerontology 46th Annual Conference – July 5-7, 2017
The Centre for Innovative Ageing is hosting the British Society of Gerontology Annual Conference 2017 at the Bay Campus of Swansea University from the 5th-7th July. This international conference draws over 300 national and international delegates at the forefront of research, practice and policy regarding ageing and older adults. The conference, whilst having an international appeal, will still retain the flare of Wales, even down to the conference title including prose from Wales’ own Dylan Thomas: “Do Not Go Gentle: Gerontology & A Good Old Age”
Reflecting the breadth and depth of global works on ageing, the conference theme “The Art of Ageing” focuses on the innovative approaches taken by UK researchers and those around the world in the field of social gerontology.
Registration for the conference IS NOW OPEN and can be completed through the conference website http://www.swansea.ac.uk/bsg17/
Ageing and Economic Growth – 12th of july 2017
The Chair « Transitions démographiques, Transitions économiques » of the “Fondation du Risque – Institut Louis Bachelier” is organizing an international conference:
« Ageing and Economic Growth»
The venue will be in Paris on the 12th of July 2017.
It may seem paradoxical to link aging and growth, this is because the mainstream analysis often views seniors as a burden for public finance and the healthcare system. Furthermore, elderly people are supposedly not directly participating in the creation of value.
In practice, aging which is a global phenomenon, requires to rethink and adapt the economic model at a fast pace.
Working beyond 60+; robotics; healthcare infrastructure and demand; planning funded pension systems; and training needs of seniors are opportunities for new developments in the economics of ageing era.
Abstracts in economics and demographics should be submitted for validation, before the 22nd of May 2017 for a validation by the 29th of May on:
ECONOMIC POLICY AND AGEING SOCIETY
Please take notice that the Chair is currently working on the following topics:
- Ageing, economic growth and welfare economics
- From housing wealth towards productive investment
- A new momentum for funded pensions systems and longevity bonds
- Healthcare finance for an aging population
- Training needs in an aging society
The topic is key and at the top of the political agenda in every country. It requires rapid adaptation in regulation, fiscal, social, prevention and saving policies.
Final papers and presentation should be sent by the end of May.
Papers in English, French are welcomed,
Please submit abstracts and papers in English or French. However, presentations can be done in researcher’s native language.
We look forward to seeing you in Paris.
Papers have to be submitted at the following adress: francois-xavier.albouy@tdte.fr

IAGG 2017 World Congress – July 23, 2017 – July 27, 2017
International Conference: “Partner Relationships, Residential Relocations and Housing in the Life Course” – 27-29 July 2017
Partnerships, residential relocations and housing are crucial aspects of people’s well-being. All three life domains are interdependent across the life course. Some partnership events involve immediate residential relocations, for instance the establishment or the dissolution of a co-residential union. Other transitions are sequenced closely together such as marriage and the transition to homeownership. The usual approach is to assume that partnership trajectories influence residential trajectories and housing choices. But the residential careers and the housing situation are likely to also restrict or enable relationship and family development.
The international conference on “Partner Relationships, Residential Relocations and Housing in the Life Course” is organised as part the PartnerLife research project. The conference aims to create a meeting point for researchers who study the interrelationship between partnership trajectories, residential relocations and housing. It will take place in Cologne on July 27-29, 2017 and the program will feature a number of invited talks by internationally renowned scientists. Further contributions on different national contexts as well as comparative work are welcome. Papers with a focus on – but not limited to – the following topics are invited:
- Partnership patterns and housing
- Living-apart-together partnerships and the transition to co-residential partnerships
- Residential trajectories, housing and the quality of partnerships
- Consequences of separation and divorce for housing, relocation careers and family relations
- Modelling the association between partnership and residential histories

Australia’s Future of Aged Care Summit – 29-31th August 2017
As the ongoing aged care reform is changing the sector landscape and putting the consumer in focus, providers are struggling with the implications of the reform.
The new open and consumer driven market is immensely increasing industry competition and changing previous funding models. Organisations in the aged care sector are for the first time having to compete for customers, restructure business models and implement alternative income streams, in order to remain financially sustainable and drive business viability.
Australia’s Future of Aged Care Summit provides attendees with the tools to remain financially sustainable in this new competitive climate. Attendees will gain practical strategies on how to attract and retain customers, diversify revenue streams and successfully transform their businesses into commercial enterprises.
Cognitive Decline and Aging – September 1-8, 2017
The interface between cognitive aging that might be considered normal and the early stages of AD has recently attracted much attention from neuroscientists and clinicians. That interface and whether one is likely to progress from cognitive decline to AD is the critical question. The Advanced Course will focus primarily on the events that lead to cognitive decline in the absence of AD, and mechanisms that might be relevant to both conditions will be thoroughly analyzed. While it is quite clear that the dementia of AD results from neuron death, particularly in circuits that mediate learning and memory, it is equally clear that age-related cognitive decline does not result from neuron death and is thus not a mild form of AD. Age-related cognitive decline appears to result primarily from synaptic alterations and other changes that affect neuronal communication in circuits mediating learning and memory that are still intact. These circuits must retain synaptic health in order to function properly, and certain events associated with aging lead to declining synaptic health.
