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).
