Why submit a symposium?
Shape the future of ageing research

Dear colleague,

Are your ready to put your research in the spotlight?

The 23rd IAGG World Congress of Gerontology and Geriatrics (5-8 July 2026, Amsterdam) invites you to submit a symposium and become part of the world's most influential congress on ageing.

In this globalising world and ageing society, the health and well-being of current and future older citizens face many challenges. These challenges include the continuing increase in life expectancy in developed and developing countries, globalisation leading to stronger dependency between countries and continents, and the complex interaction between the growing population and climate. The development and implementation of sustainable solutions to these challenges require international collaboration and knowledge exchange.

At the same time, older adults continue to face the usual challenges of ageing, ranging from loneliness to frailty and from ageism to the use of care. A better understanding of the lives of older adults and the development and implementation of sustainable solutions to these challenges require international collaboration and knowledge exchange.

We welcome you to submit a symposium proposal. By sharing what you know, you invite collaboration and contribute to the global discussion on ageing.The call for individual abstracts for oral and poster presentations will open later this year.

IAGG 2026 offers a fantastic platform to do just that: share knowledge, inspire and be inspired.

🗓️ Submission deadline: 1 October 2025
📲 Submit online only via the official symposium module

Let your voice be part of a global dialogue that matters. Read the full guidelines and submit your proposal today!

Best regards,

on behalf of the IAGG 2026 Scientific Committee,

Prof. Dr. Hilde Verbeek, Chair Scientific Committee

Prof. Dr. Martijn Huisman, Conference President
