Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Welcome – I am delighted to welcome you to participate in our International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG) European Social Research section meeting to be held in Swansea, South Wales from 1st to 3rd July 2010. Our theme Gerontology without Borders – Diversity in European & Transnational Research, provides a framework for interdisciplinary and international exchange on issues in ageing research, policy and practice.

The conference is jointly hosted by the Older People and Ageing Research and Development Network in Wales (OPAN Cymru) and the British Society of Gerontology.
