The Aging & Gerontology-2020 Conference is concerned with social aspects and implications of aging, cellular & molecular repair of age-related damage as the basis of therapies to bring aging under control. Aging & Gerontology-2020 goal is to understand age-related diseases and disabilities, and to propose new insights.

The Aging & Gerontology-2020 Conference will explore the interconnections between these key features in the contemporary landscape. It will explore the ways in which aging, as a vector of in/equality, impacts social participation over the life course. In these times of new nationalism, what kinds of policies and practices should we be developing for an aging population?

The 15th Global Conference on Ageing is being convened at the Hilton Hotel and Suites Niagara Falls / Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario on 1-3 November, 2020.  The IFA is proud to be supported by an international network of partners and is committed to creating an environment that enables older people to do what they value through a deeper evidence-based understanding.  The Conference will feature prominent experts presenting and discussing critical issues within the field of ageing.

Under the title “Rights Matter” conference findings aim to respond to the intersection of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the priorities of the WHO Global Strategy and Action Plan. Presentations will be focused on four central themes: Addressing Inequalities; Age-friendly Environments; Combating Ageism; and Enabling Functional Ability.
