Creating New Networks:

July 29–August 3, 2012, Bregenz, Austria

Workshop

In an effort to maximize the value of the conference for students and newcomers to gerontology, the MARK-AGE Summer School will be integrated with the Symposium. The Summer School starts on Sunday afternoon (2 p.m.) with a Workshop that will include key advance information from the lectures in order to make them more understandable to participants from diverse backgrounds, and put them into perspective from the standpoint of current approaches to aging research.

Stipends

Any student or trainee (with their supervisor's approval) who will be presenting a poster will be given free room and board for the entire Symposium with payment of the registration fee (US $ 150.00 or US $ 125.00, if paid before March 1, 2012). To take advantage of this offer, participation in the Workshop (see above) is mandatory. Please indicate your interest in presenting a poster and forward the information to Dr. Brown-Borg (holly.brown.borg@med.und.edu).

Furthermore, the NIA Minority Travel Assistance Program provides information for minority/disabled students, trainees and fellows to apply to the NIA for travel assistance.
