| The World Congress of Gerontology is a major vehicle
through which IAGG achieves its objectives. Held every four years,
internationally recognized experts in Gerontology share their knowledge and
experience through plenary presentations, invited symposia, paper and poster
sessions. The most recent one, the 18th World Congress of Gerontology, was held
in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from June 26th to 30th, 2005. |

18th Congress of
the International Association of Gerontology
Active Aging in the XXI Century
Participation, Health and Security
Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
The 18th International Congress of Gerontology
held in Rio de Janeiro, 2005, was a demonstration of the growing interest in
ageing. I could use several arguments to say that it was successful: more than
2000 papers were presented, there were nearly 4000 registrations, the social
program was wonderful, and, which is most important, a tremendous exchange of
experiences and new ideas.
However I rather let those who attended confirm my impression. A basic concept
all who have been in Rio share is that IAGG´s World Congress of Gerontology is
a scientific event no one can afford to miss. This is why we all should be in
Paris in 2009.
