WELCOME

Welcome to the official website of the 19th IAGG World Congress of Gerontology and Geriatrics.

“Every four years, the World Congress of Gerontology and Geriatrics represents a unique and irreplaceable event attended by experts from around the world to discuss the latest findings in the field of ageing. The 19th congress, which is taking place in Paris in 2009, is particularly important, as it coincides with an ideological u-turn”.
