May we invite you to the biennial World Conference on technologies and technology use to serve the aging society (Gerontechnology), in combination with the yearly ISARC conference dedicated to Robotics and Automation in Construction?

ISG*ISARC2012 consists of 13 keynotes, 25 symposia, a maximum of both 36 leading-edge technology events, and 36 chaired oral sessions. In addition the GeronTechnoPlatform will have continuous video presentations and real-time virtual site visits.

Under the theme “Who is afraid of aging?” issues pertaining to the aging society are addressed, such as quality of life with leisure and pleasure, home care, life-long working, retrofitting existing buildings and infrastructures, and the associated new technologies, such as ICT, automation, robotics and governance in the construction industry. We start from the rights and needs of the  aging person living and working in built environments.

The event takes place in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) under the umbrella of the European Year for Active Aging 2012 .
