IAGG Council of Student Organisations (IAGG-CSO) – Strategy 2023-26

  • Our Vision: A welcoming global community that supports students and early career researchers (S/ECRs) to connect their passion with the gerontology and geriatrics discipline and collaborate to enhance quality of life and well-being of all people as they age.
  • Our Mission: To build an interconnected, multi-disciplinary global network of student organisations that offers opportunities for learning, connection, and collaboration, in line with the mission of the IAGG.
  • Our Goals
    • Build a connected, global S/ECR community: Ensure the IAGG-CSO has a widespread, global reach and fosters regional and international connection and collaboration.
    • Promote the global profile of gerontology and geriatrics: Foster S/ECR engagement with ageing-related research and support member organisations to build their S/ECR memberships.
    • Create opportunities for sharing of knowledge and wisdom: Facilitate various events and opportunities that allow S/ECRs to build a global, multi-disciplinary knowledge base to support their journey in gerontology and geriatrics.
