This year’s conference highlights the theme of Healthy Ageing and Community Resilience, with a particular focus on the integration of clinical care, long-term care, community-based services, and social support systems.

Key themes include:

• Bridging Hospital and Long-Term Care
  Exploring how integrated care models can connect medical systems, rehabilitation, long-term care, and community services to better support older adults in super-aged societies.
  
  
• Supporting Caregivers and Community Wellbeing
  Recognizing the essential role of family caregivers, older carers, and community networks in sustaining wellbeing, independence, and dignity in later life.
  
  
• From Risk Prevention to Resilience
  Addressing fall prevention, medication safety, frailty, functional decline, nutrition, and sustainable community health through evidence-based and person-centered approaches.
  
  
• Intrinsic Capacity, ICOPE, and Ageing in Place
  Discussing how the WHO ICOPE framework and intrinsic capacity-centered care can be implemented across settings, from hospitals to primary care and communities.
  
  
• Social Innovation and Social Prescribing
  Learning from international experiences in social prescribing, Blue Zone-inspired models, joyful care, and smart mutual-supporting co-living communities.
  
  
• Wellbeing, JOY, Meaning, and Micro-Happiness in Later Life
  Reframing ageing care through joy, mindfulness, dementia-friendly support, person-centered care, and the pursuit of meaningful later life.

Distinguished experts from Taiwan, Japan, Australia, the United States, Canada, Singapore, and France will share their latest research, policy innovations, and practical experiences. The program features keynote speeches and expert panels on Japan’s integrated care experience, community rehabilitation for older carers, medication safety and fall prevention, frailty and resilience, Joyspan, social innovation, social prescribing, ICOPE implementation in France, indigenous community care, smart co-living communities, nutrition, mindfulness, and dementia wellbeing.

By bringing together global leaders across disciplines, this conference offers a valuable opportunity to engage with pioneering research, innovative models of care, and collaborative approaches to the challenges of ageing societies. Whether you are a researcher seeking international collaboration, a clinician aiming to strengthen integrated care delivery, a community practitioner developing ageing-in-place services, or a policymaker exploring sustainable solutions, this conference provides a rich platform for dialogue, learning, and partnership.
