The Interdisciplinary Research Structure for Health, Prevention & Quality of Life (SFRI Santé) at USMB, the self-proclaimed National Council on Aging (CNaV) and the USMB Institute for Transitions invite you to attend a study day on " Aging and Adapting to Change."
Aging is a natural process marked by multiple transitions that require constant adaptability. The quest for optimal quality of life as we age highlights the challenges posed by societal transformations and the need to adjust to both internal (physical, physiological, mental) and external (environment, housing, climate, social ties, etc.) changes.
This study day aims to create a space for dialogue between researchers, healthcare professionals, social sector stakeholders, and users. Together, we invite you to explore aging as a journey of transitions and adaptations on different scales, both individual and collective.
