ABOUT THE CONFERENCE 

The Department of Psychology, School of Social Sciences at CHRIST (Deemed to be University) Delhi NCR, in partnership with the National Institute of Social Defence Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment is delighted to announce the organization of a two-day State/Regional Conference on Fostering Intergenerational Connections: Successful Aging and Gerontology. As the world observes a striking change in the demographics of older adults due to increased life expectancy, technological advancements, rapid urbanization or globalization, and migration from rural to urban areas for better opportunities, a significant impact is observed on social, cultural, economic, and psychological domains of older adults. This conference aims to bring together scholars, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advocates from diverse backgrounds to explore and promote comprehensive approaches to explore demographic shifts in the global population with respect to aging and facilitate the amalgamation of cutting-edge research findings, evidence-based practices, and theoretical frameworks related to aging. It would also promote a collaborative space for bridging the gap between academic research in various interdisciplinary areas exploring the opportunities and challenges, innovative approaches, and various interventions in the area of Gerontology attempting to promote a holistic solution towards successful aging. The conference features keynote addresses by distinguished experts, plenary sessions, panel discussions, paper presentations, and interactive workshops. Networking opportunities will enable attendees to engage in fruitful discussions and collaboration.
