1. Is there consensus on some concepts discussed?
2. Are there any concepts that can be combined?
3. What conceptual issues remain to be resolved?
4. What studies are needed to help move the field forward and what type of pilot data would establish feasibility?
5. What types of data would be useful to share in the near term?
Session 2 (Blue): White Oak B
Session 3 (Purple): Forest Glen
Session 4 (Yellow): Salon F-H
The 1st workshop had a unique format where researchers from across the field of age-related cognitive studies had the opportunity to contribute to the formation of operational definitions and framework for future research. The workshop counted an audience of 285 researchers from across the globe.
1st Workshop Deliverables:
- Consensus driven operational definitions and framework for the concepts.
- Formation of workgroups that will address key programmatic issues for the research on the lines of the defined concepts.
Day I
Opening remarks (Executive committee) and Panel Discussions on the present heterogeneous definitions followed by peer-supported discussions with the audience.
Breakout groups
Day 2
- Readouts
- Planning for next year
