Professor Chris Phillipson gave keynote address
Professor Chris Phillipson, Professor of Applied Social Studies and Social Gerontology, gave the keynote address to a conference on Active Ageing held in the Flemish Parliament in Brussels as part of the European Year of Active Ageing and Intergenerational Solidarity between Generations.
Professor Phillipson reviewed the development of policies to support active ageing across Europe and some of the demographic and economic challenges with which these are associated. He identified a number of new policy initiatives in relation to areas such as education, employment and the environment, these linked with strengthening ties across generations. The conference was supported by a range of organisations in Belgium, in association with the Free University, Brussels.
