Key insights of the NKG2024 congress in newly published paper
We are delighted to share some of the many important reflections from the NKG2024 congress held in Stockholm in June 2024, in the form of a newly published perspective paper entitled "Ageing in a Transforming World: Insights for Future Research and Policy from the 27th Nordic Congress of Gerontology".
The artilcle highlights that a rapidly ageing population requires societies that are innovative, sustainable, and inclusive for all ages. The way forward is described as close collaboration across disciplines, generations, and nations, with dialogue between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers playing a central role. An important conclusion is that the humanities and the arts need to be given a stronger voice as a complement to medical and social science research, while also reminding us that academic freedom cannot be taken for granted.
