Please join us in welcoming the following new members:

They join the following members who were re-elected:

Stop! Don’t look away! This is one of those ‘boring, but important’ news items.

Did you know that we provide members’ addresses to the distribution house that does our mailouts, including for Australian Ageing Agenda? - AAG media partner. So, if you’ve moved, or no longer want a printed copy, you need to tell us directly, not them. And the best way to do that is to update your details in your member profile.

Please take a moment to:

  • Log into your AAG membership account
  • Check and update your contact details
  • Under ‘My profile’, make sure your information and photo are current
  • Under ‘My preferences’, indicate your communication preferences.

IAGG 2023 Asia Oceania Regional Conference (Yokohama, Japan) –
Abstract submissions extended to 26 December 2022

Symposium proposals are 13 January 2022

Every four years, the Asia Oceania Region of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics runs a regional conference, and the next one will be held in Yokohama Japan, June 12-15 2023. The IAGG regional conference provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase your research on the international stage, and for building international networks. 

The regional conference also has a student and emerging researcher program embedded in the program, so there are excellent opportunities for PhD students and early career researchers from across the region to also build networks. 

AAG always has a strong participation at the IAGG regional conferences, so you will also meet many of your AAG friends and colleagues there. 

Abstract submissions have been extended to December 26, 2022

Symposium submissions close on January 13, 2022.

For further information about the conference, abstract submission, and registration, please see https://www.iagg2023.org/index.html
