Final conference 'Towards a society for all ages: Why and how should regional authorities combat ageism' of COST Action – Ageism, hosted by the European Committee of the Regions at Jacques Delors Building, Brussels
Professor Sandra C. Buttigieg actively participated in final conference with title “Towards a society for all ages: Why and how should regional authorities combat ageism” of COST Action – Ageism on October 26.
This international event was organised as a result of a collaboration between COST Action IS1402 on Ageism, AGE Platform Europe and the Committee of the Regions to advocate for a future world for all ages, in which age is no longer a barrier.
This event summarised the work done on the topic of ageism by more than 200 researchers and policy stakeholders from 35 different countries, as part of a COST Action on ageism. The COST Action has collaborated on a special issue on the topic of ageism, a book on ageism, with Professor Buttigieg leading on one chapter, as well as a systematic review published on The Gerontologist of the American Society of Gerontology, in which Prof. Buttigieg is a co-author. Details are available on the AGE-Platform Europe website.
Professor Buttigieg would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Professor Janet Mifsud, COST Country Co-ordinator for Malta for the constant support shown throughout her participation in this COST Action.
