The workshop will be held from September 25th - 27th 2015 at the Martin Luther University

Dear colleagues,
A great number of elderly patients will reach the hospitals in the future when the baby boomer generation will get old. Nobody is really prepared for this tsunami like increase of multi-morbid patients. Gerontologists and Geriatrics from all fields should work togeter to understand the challenges of the treatment of such elderly patients. Translational research will therefore be of major interest in the future.
The purpose of this meeting is (1) to make the general public more aware of the problems of elderly patients, (2) to promote greater communication among the worldwide community of individuals engaged in ageing research and (3) to invite young students to join this field of research.
The meeting is organized by the Working Group "The Elderly Patient in Heart Surgery" of the German Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (DGTHG) in coopertion with the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, the German Society of Gerontology and Geriatrics (DGGG), the European Section of the International Academy of Cardiovascular Science and the Interdisziplinary Centre on Ageing Halle (IZAH).
The congress will be the 7th international meeting on ageing in Halle (Saale) and thereby hopefully develop to a focus on ageing research in Germany. It will comprise invited talks and poster sessions . There will be no concurrent sessions.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Halle (Saale) for a most exciting and enjoyable meeting.
Cordially,
Andreas Simm
