Age Encounters, Tuesday 25 November 2014
Age Encounters is a network of researchers, academics and practitioners with an interest in age. Each ‘age encounter’ has presentations from speakers from different sectors, along with time to chat over coffee.

During the event on 25 November, there were 3 presentations:
