The
International Association of Gerontological Societies was founded and
registered in Liege Belgium in July 1950, later becoming the International
Association of Gerontology (IAG). Through its half-century of existence,
successive IAG presidents have worked hard to promote gerontological
research in the biological, medical, behavioural, and social policy and
practice fields, training of high quality personnel in the field of aging,
and the interests of gerontological organizations in international
matters.
