Conference Theme
The Conference explores the Ageing focus and interdisciplinary perspectives (Sociology, Demography, Economics, Psychology, Education, Physical Exercise and Sport Science, Mental health and intelligent technologies), promoting scientific collaboration across fields and countries.
The upcoming International Conference on Ageing, Health, and Interdisciplinary Perspectives (within the FSS Conference Series) stands as a critical forum dedicated to tackling one of the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century: the profound societal transformation brought about by demographic ageing. This conference is fundamentally designed around an expansive Ageing focus, moving beyond simple biological longevity to explore the complex interplay of factors that shape the quality of life, health outcomes, and social integration of older populations worldwide. Its core mission is not merely to present research but to actively promote robust scientific collaboration across disparate fields and national borders.
At the heart of the conference’s structure is its commitment to interdisciplinary perspectives. Ageing is far too complex a phenomenon to be understood through the lens of a single domain; therefore, the event deliberately integrates insights from a broad spectrum of academic disciplines. Scholars focused on Sociology explore how changing family structures, community integration, and social roles impact the elderly. Simultaneously, experts in Demography provide the critical statistical backbone, projecting future population shifts, dependency ratios, and the resulting pressures on social welfare systems.
The economic implications of an ageing world are addressed by contributors from Economics, who analyze labor force participation, pension system sustainability, and the burgeoning silver economy. Crucially, the conference delves into individual well-being through the lenses of Psychology and Mental Health. Psychologists investigate cognitive decline, emotional resilience, and the factors contributing to life satisfaction in later years, while mental health specialists focus on prevention and treatment strategies for depression, loneliness, and age-related neurological disorders.
The proactive adaptation to longevity is also a central theme, drawing on the field of Education. This focus highlights the importance of lifelong learning, digital literacy, and continuous skill acquisition, ensuring older adults remain engaged, employable, and adaptable citizens. Finally, recognizing the exponential growth of technological solutions, the role of Intelligent Technologies is heavily explored. This includes presentations on robotics for home assistance, AI-driven diagnostics, remote monitoring systems, and digital platforms designed to enhance communication and combat isolation.
By uniting these diverse methodologies—from qualitative sociological surveys to quantitative demographic modeling, and from clinical psychological trials to cutting-edge technological development—the conference ensures a holistic and actionable understanding of ageing. This deliberate mixing of perspectives is vital; for instance, economic models can be improved by psychological data on retirement motivation, and the effectiveness of intelligent health technologies relies on sociological understanding of adoption barriers.
Ultimately, the conference serves as a vital nexus where researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and innovators connect. By dissolving traditional disciplinary silos, it facilitates the sharing of best practices, the joint development of innovative methodologies, and the establishment of international consortia. This atmosphere of cross-border and cross-field collaboration is essential to translate research findings into concrete policies and scalable solutions that will genuinely enhance the health and dignity of older populations globally. The outcome is not just a collection of papers, but a foundational platform for building a healthier, more equitable, and more supportive future for all ages.
Therefore, international participation is mostly welcomed and appreciated – researchers, PhD candidates and professionals are gladly invited to submit articles that focus on the topics presented.
