Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) June 26–29, 2012
In the last week of June in the European Year for Active Aging 2012 the next world conference of the ISG, International Society for Gerontechnology will take place in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. This year in cooperation with the ISARC, International Symposium of Automation and Robotics in Construction.
Under the theme “Who is afraid of aging?” all aspects of the aging society are included, such as quality of life (including leisure and pleasure), home care, life-long working, retrofitting existing buildings and infrastructures, and the associated new technologies, such as ICT, automation and robotics. We start from the rights and needs of the end-user of built environments. Special emphasis is on the world of the construction industry.
During the three conference days (Wednesday to Friday) there will be keynotes, leading edge technology events, symposia, chaired oral sessions in a fixed time frame, as well as exhibitions and virtual site visits at the GeronTechnoPlatform.
Save and note the dates, and create an account as reader (free) or author (participant fee) to read the abstracts of accepted presentations, and to receive regular news messages!
