Join us in London (and online) for EGen2025!
July 10–14, 2025 | SOAS & University College London, UK
We are very excited to host The 5th European Conference on Aging & Gerontology (EGen2025), the sister conference to The Asian Conference on Aging & Gerontology (AGen), which has been held in Japan since 2015.
IAFOR has joined efforts with The Bartlett Real Estate Institute at UCL, UK, the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA) at the University of Michigan, the IAFOR Research Centre at OSIPP, Osaka University, Japan, and academic leaders and thinkers of all disciplines from a wide range of prestigious institutions to host a conference that brings together all disciplines to discuss one of the greatest challenges humanity currently faces: the ageing of the population. Scholars from practically every discipline are welcomed to bring their perspective, as ageing involves almost all aspects of humanities, science and policy. With thematic streams covering many disciplines such as the built environment, frailty, loneliness, the silver economy, and others, EGen2025 will again provide a great opportunity for researchers.
The European Conference on Aging & Gerontology (EGen) is an interdisciplinary conference held alongside The European Conference on Education (ECE), The European Conference on Arts & Humanities (ECAH).
We look forward to meeting you in London and online.

IAFOR's Conference Themes for 2025-2029
Our selected themes for 2025-2029 bring together ideas and encourage research and synergies in the following areas:
Our four themes can be seen as standalone themes, but they are also very much in conversation with each other. Themes may be seen as corollaries, complementary, or in opposition/juxtaposition with each other. The themes can be considered as widely as possible and are designed, in keeping with our mission, to encourage ideas across the disciplines.
