While we’re on the subject of conferences being held in Canberra this year, the Australian Association of Gerontology (AAG) are extending the closing date for abstract submissions for their November conference, until Friday 29th April 2016.

The conference theme is “Capitalising on the Ageing Dividend: Reimagining Our Future” and submissions are welcome on a variety of ageing-related topics, including palliative care and end-of-life care.

What’s cool about the abstract submissions? Authors are asked to submit a 100-character “Tweetable” along with their abstract.

Visit the AAG website for more details on the conference and abstract submissions.
