We invite you to the 27th Nordic Congress of Gerontology in Stockholm, Sweden, June 12-14, 2024.
关于我们
On behalf of the Swedish Gerontological Society, the Swedish Geriatric Association, Karolinska Institutet, and the Nordic Gerontological Federation (NGF), we invite you to join the 27th Nordic Congress of Gerontology (NKG) to share your knowledge and engagement with ageing in a transforming world. The world is constantly changing, but recent crises including climate change, the pandemic and wars suggest rapid and profound transformations in living conditions. During such challenging periods, certain groups in the population including older adults and frail individuals may be particularly susceptible to negative consequences. At the 27th NKG congress, we want to explore how researchers from different scientific disciplines and practitioners can come together to bring new insights that facilitate better living conditions for older adults and contribute to the sustainable development of current and future generations. We believe that the Nordic countries can take a more active role in promoting healthy ageing globally. This includes being forerunners in research and practice on increasingly important issues with implications for older adults, such as equity, global health, living conditions, migration, welfare technology, and the organisation of health and social care. We invite scholars, professionals, policymakers, NGOs, and other stakeholders to explore questions related to ageing in a world of profound transformations. Plenary lectures, symposia, oral sessions, posters, and exhibitions will reflect themes from different scientific disciplines and practice, on topics relevant to gerontology and geriatrics. We welcome multidisciplinary contributions reflecting the pillars of the NGF’s scientific orientations: behavioural and social sciences; biological, health and medical sciences; humanities; social research, policy, and practice. There will also be an enjoyable social programme.

In the new issue of the NGF newsletter, GeroNord, President Jette Thuesen reflects on the theme of the #27nkg in light of the living conditions for older people in areas of conflict.

Reflections on the Nordic Gerontological Congress theme in light of the living conditions of older people in areas of conflict: When the Swedish organizers agreed on the topic of 27NKG, I believe they could not fully know how even more relevant this title would become. Reflecting on the title 'Ageing in a transforming world' it is clear to me that it turned out to herald even greater transformations than perhaps first expected. In many places in the world, due to war and conflicts, transformations are more substantial than ever, having a huge impact on the everyday life and future perspectives of the people living there. Not far from us, in Ukraine and Gaza, older people are facing a particularly dire situation, with specific risks to their health and well-being. Amnesty International has reported on the living conditions of older people living in Ukraine: ? Older people have comprised a disproportionate number of civilian casualties during the war in Ukraine. They often stay behind in conflict-affected areas, whether because they have disabilities that make fleeing impossible or because they are reluctant to abandon their homes, which are usually their only valuable asset. But even after being displaced to safer parts of Ukraine, older people often face insurmountable hurdles in their efforts to rebuild an autonomous and dignified life, struggling to access housing, support services and healthcare on an equal basis with others. ? Please read more in the report “They live in the dark”. Older people’s isolation and inadequate access to housing amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine”. ? Age International has reported on the lives and deaths of older people living in Gaza: Older people in Gaza have already endured many years of tension and challenge. The current situation is leading to increasing levels of trauma for all age groups. Nine out of ten older people in Gaza have at least one disability, which can make it harder to manage in a crisis. When advice was given to Gazans to flee the conflict areas, older people were least able to and were most likely to be in hospitals and residential care facilities that could not be evacuated. ? Please read more at Age Internationals home page: Remembering older people in Gaza. In the Nordic countries, ageing may be less fraught with conflict. Yet, war and conflict affect all of us somehow or another. Conflicts move into our everyday lives and affect how we think about the future. The need for building defenses is increasing. The defense cooperation within and beyond the Nordic countries in NATO now also includes Sweden and Finland. As researchers, we work across borders and defenses. In the congress call the Swedish organizers state, that the Nordic countries should take a more active role in promoting healthy ageing globally. This should include being forerunners .......
