BackOnline Conference
Advancing the Rights of the Elderly in an Age of Longevity
Wednesday, 1 December 2021
14:00 - 19:00 (CET)
To mark its 50th Anniversary, the State Comptroller and Ombudsman of Israel, under the auspices of the IOI and the AOM, invite you to participate in an international online conference on the theme: Advancing the Rights of the Elderly in an Age of Longevity.
Medical and biotechnological progress has led to a breakthrough in the field of public health, both on the individual and communal level. This poses new and fascinating challenges for society, such as an increase in the percentage of senior citizens in modern society and in life expectancy. Issues dealing with improvement in the quality of life of senior citizens and the study of aging (gerontology) occupy government authorities across the globe.
The international online conference will deal, among other things, with the unique challenges facing state institutions responsible for upholding and advancing the rights of senior citizens, while examining the challenges facing ombuds institutions throughout the world pertaining to this issue.
The conference will be conducted in English, with simultaneous interpretation into French, Spanish and Arabic. A link for registration to the conference will be sent in due course.
We will soon be sending you a questionnaire on the role of the ombudsman in advancing the rights of the elderly. The data obtained from the questionnaire will be presented in the course of the conference.
We look forward to your joining us for this special event, in celebration of the Israel Ombudsman's Jubilee year.
Be sure to save the date!
