You are invited to attend the International Association of Homes and Services for the Ageing (IAHSA) Sixth International Conference - Creative Solutions for an Ageing Society: Sharing the Wisdom - 27-29 June 2005 in Trondheim, Norway.

Given growing concerns that aged care systems around the world will soon be unable to cope with increased demands, the conference theme - Creative Solutions for an Ageing Society: Sharing the Wisdom - is particularly critical for our future success. In order to respond to the increasing needs and challenges placed on aged care services, providers are best positioned to thrive through sharing innovations and adapting successful models.

As you review our preliminary program, you will note the increased prominence of technology as a strategy to achieve efficient, high-quality care and services for the elderly. Be it smart houses or robotic aides, technology is proving to be a crucial partner in providing aged care. Few settings can offer better opportunities to learn about best practices, cutting-edge approaches and innovative programs than Norway, a country famed for its technological acumen and comprehensive health and social services. Moreover, Trondheim is a center of research and development, with a scientific community ranking among the finest in Europe. Likewise, local facility tours will provide conference attendees an opportunity to witness first hand Norwegian aged care and technology in action.

The conference will also address current pressing issues in aged care ranging from human resources to innovative models in service delivery. Internationally renowned experts will share their knowledge through plenary sessions, symposia and educational workshops. Exciting social events will provide participants with opportunities to network with colleagues and exchange experiences and views from their respective countries.
