Examples from practice & research in focus

At the IARA Institute for Applied Research on Ageing, we work in an interdisciplinary, applied and participatory manner in collaboration with various stakeholders and individuals. Our aim at this conference is therefore to look at the topic of innovative regional healthcare in old age from different perspectives.
