Nationaler Alterskongress

The National Ageing Congress is a major professional event exploring demographic change as an opportunity for Swiss society and practice. The congress brings together experts from science, politics, social security and frontline practice to share research, policy perspectives and practical innovations that support ageing populations. The programme includes keynote presentations, thematic talks, panel discussions and afternoon breakout sessions on topics such as volunteering in later life, regional age planning, retirement work and financial security. With simultaneous translation between German and French, the forum facilitates dialogue across linguistic regions and disciplines, helping practitioners apply new insights in their work. The event also offers extensive networking opportunities for professionals engaged in gerontology, social policy, community planning and senior care. This congress is designed for researchers, policymakers, practitioners and other specialists focused on shaping a positive, inclusive and sustainable environment for ageing communities.
