Invitation
The conference theme is “Ageing well together: Regional perspectives”. It integrates the broad perspectives of ageing well from our diverse region, focusing on the key areas of health, function, psychological, social and spiritual well-being. Critically, as these ageing issues affect everyone - family, friends, the broader community and those working in the area – the different approaches, discussions and learnings from the conference will inspire us to reflect on our own current practices and systems. The broad scope of the conference is reflected by the four main themes – clinical medicine, biological sciences, social and behavioural sciences, and social research and planning. Invited keynotes from within and outside the Asia / Oceania Region, as well as symposia, papers, and posters of the latest advances will be presented, along with pre and post conference workshops on specific issues. We look forward to meeting you in Melbourne at the 2011 Conference, and encourage you to register early to obtain the best possible conference registration rates. Sincerely yours, Professor Keith Hill |
