SUMMARY:BSG Annual Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the British Society of Gerontology 54th Annual Conference\, 25-27 June 2025\, University of Surrey\, Guildford\, UK. \nThe British Society of Gerontology Annual Conference attracts around 400 delegates from around the world\, comprising academics and others interested in a wide range of issues related to ageing. In 2025 the conference will be held at the University of Surrey\, Stag Hill campus. Whilst the University of Surrey has a long-history of research\, knowledge exchange and public engagement about ageing\, it now hosts the Centre of Excellence on Ageing\, established in 2023\, with its partner the Global Initiative on Ageing Foundation (GIA) under the auspices of the United Nations (UN). This multi and inter-disciplinary centre brings together over 60 fellows at the university whose work addresses a wide range of ageing related topics and issues. \nThe conference theme this year will be ‘Care\, Creativity\, Connection and Change’. We hope this will inspire debate and discussion on the interrelationship between these different\, but connected\, areas of ageing and social gerontology. To help explore our theme our confirmed keynote speakers are Professor Helen Manchester (University of Bristol)\, Professor Julienne Meyer (City University) and Dr Jo-Pei Tan (Manchester Metropolitan University). Building on the strengths of recent BSG conferences\, the University of Surrey Conference will include keynote addresses\, flagship symposia\, opportunities to engage with the BSG Special Interests Groups (SIGs) and several\, themed special events.  \nThe University of Surrey is based in Guildford\, in the heart of the Surrey Hills National Landscape\, an area of importance and status akin to a national park. Accommodation will be available on the University’s Manor Park campus and there are a range of hotels and guest houses locally for those who prefer to stay off-site. The conference dinner will take place on campus on the Thursday evening. The town of Guildford has excellent transport links for national and international travellers – London Waterloo is 40 mins by train and Heathrow and Gatwick airports are within easy reach via public transport. \nIn addition to the main conference\, the Emerging Researchers in Ageing (ERA) pre-conference session on 23rd  and 24th June 2025\, will give early career researchers (ECRs) the opportunity to present their research\, engage in workshops\, and network with other ECRs. It welcomes presentations on ageing-related topics from early career researchers at all stages. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the University of Surrey in June 2025! \nRegister to Attend \n\nKey Deadlines & Dates\n\n13th November 2024 – Abstract Submission Opened\n\n\n17th January 2025 – Symposium Submission Deadline\n\n\n24th January 2025 – Abstract Submission Deadline\n\n\n31st March 2025 – Abstract Notifications\n\n\n25th April 2025 – Early Bird Registration Deadline\n\n\n1st May 2025 – Registration Deadline\n\n\n\n25th-27th June 2025 –  British Society of Gerontology 54nd Annual Conference\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract Submission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to announce that the Abstract submissions portal for the 54th Annual Conference of the British Society of Gerontology hosted by the University of Surrey from 25th – 27th June 2025 is NOW LIVE . \nAbstract Submission Deadline: Friday 24th January 2025 \nPlease use the following link to submit an abstract through Oxford Abstracts. \nImportant: please read the information below before submitting an abstract  \nThe conference in 2025 is being organised as an ‘in person’ event at the University of Surrey. The conference welcomes paper\, symposium\, and poster submissions from academics\, researchers\, practitioners\, educators\, policy-makers\, the third sector\, students\, and those interested in researching ageing and later life. \n Please note\, the process for submitting an abstract to the Emerging Researchers in Ageing (ERA) Pre-Conference Event will be handled separately. If you would like to be contacted about submitting an ERA Pre-Conference Event abstract when the call for papers comes out\, please register your interest here. Please note that there will be a small additional charge if you wish to attend the Emerging Researchers in Ageing Pre-Conference Event alongside the main conference.  \n Conference theme and streaming papers  \nThe conference theme is ‘Care\, Creativity\, Connection and Change’ and papers that address this theme are encouraged. However\, we do not want to be overly prescriptive. A non-exclusive list of areas typically covered at BSG conferences include the following:  \n\nAgeing in a global context\nWork and retirement\nBusiness\, ageing and community\nSocial care\nHealth and ageing\nTheories\, methods and critical perspectives\nEnvironments for ageing\nSocial participation\, citizenship and the welfare state\nConnections and relationships\nInequalities in ageing and inclusive ageing\nTechnology and ageing\nArts and Culture\n\nYou will not be asked to submit your paper against a stream\, as we know it is not always straightforward choosing one topic area. Instead\, the organisers will prioritise streaming papers in sessions with papers on similar topics wherever possible.  \nAccepted presenters will be required to register by the early bird deadline of Friday 25th April 2025 in order to secure their place in the programme. \nFor any queries about the 2025 Annual Conference\, please contact bsgconference2025@britishgerontology.org
