Journées Annuelles de la SFGG

Official Application: Annual Days of the SFGG

The Annual Days of the SFGG is the official mobile application for the 39th Congress of the French Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology (Société Française de Gériatrie et Gérontologie). This prestigious event serves as a platform for professionals in the fields of geriatrics and gerontology to engage in meaningful discussions, share insights, and explore cutting-edge research related to aging. The congress will take place from November 25th to November 27th at the Paris Marriott Rive Gauche conference center.

Geriatrics and gerontology are two interconnected domains that form the foundation of this congress. Geriatrics focuses on the medical care of elderly individuals, whether they are living at home or in institutional settings. It addresses complex bio-psycho-social issues and age-related diseases, emphasizing holistic patient care. On the other hand, gerontology encompasses a wide range of disciplines and sciences that study aging, including biology, psychology, sociology, demography, public health, health economics, healthcare management, education, law, and even architecture. These diverse fields converge to create a comprehensive understanding of the aging process.

This year's congress aims to bring together all stakeholders—clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and caregivers—to actively participate in advancing the field of geriatrics and gerontology. With an aging population becoming a global reality, adapting society to demographic changes has become more urgent than ever. The concept of "silver economy," which refers to business opportunities and innovations catering to older adults, is gaining significant attention. Furthermore, improving the care provided to patients and residents in both medical and social sectors remains a top priority. By disseminating knowledge, promoting best practices, and sharing real-world experiences, the congress seeks to enhance the quality of care across various healthcare settings.

Preventive strategies also play a crucial role in geriatric and gerontological activities. The collaboration between Gérontopoles—a network of specialized centers focused on aging research—offers valuable opportunities for innovation and progress. Topics such as organizational restructuring in healthcare systems, addressing current challenges in geriatric research, and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue will be central to the congress agenda. These discussions promise to be insightful and thought-provoking, as they address critical issues affecting our aging societies.

The SFGG's annual meetings provide an invaluable opportunity for professionals to engage in debates about timely topics, exchange ideas, and collaborate on new research and care approaches related to aging. By participating in these events, attendees can stay informed about the latest developments in geriatrics and gerontology while contributing to shaping the future of these fields.
