To counter these myths, the EU-funded “FutuRes” research project is launching the series “Myth Busting for Ageing Societies” (more below). Ageing, our experts explain, is neither “somebody else’s problem” nor is it a “problem” at all. Rather, such ideas are often mere excuses in order to avoid political action.
Join us to hear more about common misconceptions on ageing - and to ask your questions directly to our experts: register now for our “Myth Busting” virtual Press Hour.
Thursday, December 14, 2024, 11.00 – 11.50 am CET

“Myth Busts for Ageing Societies”
In each article, our “FutuRes” experts unpack a commonly believed ageing myth and present us with the current research perspective. Are generations really “opposing interest groups”? Is ageing really “expensive”?

We can afford to get older You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
