The European Centre contributed to the UNECE Ministerial Conference on Ageing in Lisbon by organizing the Research Forum on 20 September 2017. Almost 80 researchers from almost 30 countries gathered to foster a multi-professional dialogue around the three themes of the Ministerial Conference (‘Recognizing the potential of older people’, ‘Encouraging longer working life and ability to work’ and ‘Ensuring ageing with dignity’), to underpin the Ministerial Declaration with evidence from research on ageing, and to identify priority areas of future research on ageing.
