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
