The International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics has launched a program
of “IAGG Collaborating Centres”. This program aims to identify centres involved in
research, teaching and in the provision of services in Gerontology and Geriatrics to
establish a world community of those who, in several ways, are devoted to improve living
in old age. There are not many centres around the world dedicated to Gerontology and
Geriatrics, and IAGG wishes to be in touch with as many centres as possible, to foster
ongoing contact and exchange of information. Aging is always a challenge, regardless of
the country. Wealthier countries will not necessarily have better responses to the challenge
of aging than poorer ones. The IAGG Collaborating Centre program seeks to be a forum to
exchange information and expertise. Our commitment is to research and education, but
also to the development of a network of centres based on fraternity.
