The main theme of the congress will be Geriatric Medicine Crossing Borders.  

The scientific committee is finalizing a core curriculum that includes the interplay between cutting-edge science and everyday practice, between general practitioner and specialist, hospital and nursing home, between different countries and cultures on topics such as dementia, frailty, end-of-life care, nutrition, education, mobility disorders, rehabilitation, acute and long term care, pain, delirium etc.  

The congress is being organized in cooperation with the annual Dutch "Geriatriedagen,” which is a platform for all workers in the field of geriatric medicine. Consequently, the submitted symposia as well as poster sessions and workshops provide ample opportunities to increase attendees' knowledge and skills in geriatric medicine, in good collaboration with other branches of gerontology as well as nursing science. The program offers a great choice of topics for geriatricians and gerontologists, as well as specialized nurses and other paramedics.
