The Carinthia University of Applied Sciences welcomes you to the 2014 Mid-term Conference of the Research Network Ageing in Europe (RN1) of the European Sociological Association (ESA) in Klagenfurt. The organising committee hopes that the conference will widen the scope of discussions about the future of aging in Europe. The Klagenfurt conference will give the perfect background to find new EU-partners for research projects on ageing in Europe, some new views and arguments, fruitfull discussions and innovative ideas.
