Events
This section provides a calendar of events relevant to ageing research and related issues.
This conference, co-hosted by AARP International and the European Centre Vienna will facilitate a pan-European approach to "reinventing retirement," with a particular emphasis on the new member states of the European Union, and the socio-economic consequences of aging for these countries.

The Centre for Ageing Research and Development in Ireland (CARDI) would like to invite you or a colleague to help us identify ageing research priorities that are relevant to policy and practice in Ireland (North and South).
CARDI has been established to help ensure research plays its role in planning for an ageing population in Ireland.
There is a need for more research in a wide variety of areas to enable our ageing population to live life to the full and to give those designing and developing services and facilities access to the latest research thinking.
