[October 15, 2019]

Ageing in the world will continue to proceed rapidly in next half century. Therefore, it is required that we provide and share ideas to tackle ageing, the dramatic social changes we are facing.

Especially, in a super-ageing society, it is necessary to build a platform for extending health, career, and asset life expectancy, and a multi-sector approach is required for realization.

In this conference, focusing on possible future issues, we would like to invite leading experts from industry, academia and government around the world to discuss for more active ageing society. We intend to make proposals for resolving issues of ageing in the world as guidelines for policy making.
