The British Society of Gerontology (BSG) Yorkshire and North East Regional Meeting is a premier gathering for professionals, researchers, and students dedicated to the study of ageing. Hosted in the historic city of York, this event serves as a vital platform for disseminating cutting-edge research and fostering regional collaboration. The 2026 meeting centers on the theme of "Resilient Ageing in a Changing Climate," addressing how local communities in the North of England can adapt to support an ageing population amidst evolving social and environmental challenges.
Attendees will engage with a diverse programme featuring keynote addresses from leading gerontologists, peer-reviewed oral presentations, and interactive poster sessions. The event highlights innovative approaches to social care, the impact of digital exclusion on older adults, and new findings in geriatric health. Beyond the formal sessions, the meeting provides an invaluable space for networking, allowing early-career researchers to connect with established academics and practitioners. By bringing together multi-disciplinary perspectives—from sociology and psychology to social policy and health sciences—the conference aims to influence both local policy and global discourse on ageing. Participants will leave with fresh insights into the complexities of later life and practical strategies for enhancing the wellbeing of older people in the Yorkshire and North East regions.
