Age 3.0: The Creative Ageing Fair is a one-day interdisciplinary event to be held on August 25th 2016 at Concordia University in Montreal. It brings together panel discussions from researchers working in the field of ageing studies; community art interventions created by senior organizations; and kiosks hosted by companies and research groups working to bring ageing to the forefront of public, commercial and academic discourses. The day features conversations between a variety of people, including participants of a European Network of Living Lab event who will be invited to attend Age 3.0, and the general public.

As part of the day’s events, Age 3.0 is hosting a graduate and postdoctoral fellow poster session and is calling for poster presentations from emerging researchers (MA and PhD students and postdoctoral fellows) who are working towards defining and redefining ageing-related research from a variety of disciplines.

Together, we will ask: how can research foster creative and complex understandings of ageing processes, specifically, understandings that challenge traditional stereotypes of ageing? How do older adults engage creatively with the world? How do we define the multiple intersections between innovation, the creative economy, emerging technologies, and ageing?
