Join us for a groundbreaking international symposium on 8–9 December 2025, as Sorbonne University and leading Japanese institutions — including the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Geriatrics and Gerontology, and Tokyo University Hospital — unite to explore the future of healthy aging.
Under the theme “Global Health and Aging: Toward a Bio-Psycho-Social Age”, this two-day event will bring together experts in geriatrics, biology, public health, and social sciences to share innovative research, policies, and metrics for fostering brain, mind, and physical well-being in aging populations. From frailty and biological resilience to nutrition, muscle health, and end-of-life care, discover how interdisciplinary collaboration can shape healthier, more inclusive ageing societies.
