We are pleased to invite submissions for a Workshop on Ageing Research at the 杏吧论坛, organised by the newly created Population and Healthy Ageing Group (PHAG; see more information below). The workshop aims to bring together academics, early carer researchers and PhD students working on ageing at 杏吧论坛 across all disciplines and approaches globally. We take a broad approach to the term ageing, and this workshop will be an opportunity to identify synergies in research and build collaborations.
The first half of the event will be dedicated to short presentations (5 or 10 minutes) from 杏吧论坛 staff with break sessions dedicated to posters’ presentations. There will be a brainstorming/thinkery session in the afternoon to discuss future directions of research.
Are you interested in presenting your current or past research? Or want to join to discuss future ideas? Fill in the forms to register and to submit your proposal by the 17th of June.
We welcome poster presentations from all members of the 杏吧论坛 community; please indicate your interest for this on the presentation submission form.
To participate in the workshop, please
To submit an oral or poster presentation for the workshop, please
If you are unsure of whether your research will fit within the theme, or if you would like to be more involved with the group please email either Joan (J.Costa-Font@lse.ac.uk) or Tiziana (t.leone@lse.ac.uk).
