World Congress on Active Ageing - 13-17 August 2012

The BHF National Centre has teamed up with Glasgow Caledonian University to stage the 8th ISAPA World Congress on Active Ageing (WCAA). This Congress will attract a world-wide community of researchers, policy makers and practitioners and will be held in Glasgow on the 13th - 17th of August 2012.

WCAA 2012 will provide a unique opportunity for all those interested in active ageing. By interweaving research, those who implement research into practice and older adults themselves, this is a truly multidisciplinary approach. Over 100 parallel symposia, practical workshops, meet the expert sessions, scientific and evaluation posters will be on offer.

Delegate registration is now open with an early bird price available for delegates booking before 16th April 2012. Delegates may register for the whole Congress or for specific days. Prices start from £150. For further information on registration, prices and the Congress programme please visit www.wcaa2012.com
