Over the past year, we have had the opportunity to reflect on the many important conversations and insights raised during the congress. We are now delighted to share some of these reflections with you in the form of a newly published perspective paper: Ageing in a Transforming World: Insights for Future Research and Policy from the 27th Nordic Congress of Gerontology. The paper highlights key insights from the congress and outlines future directions for ageing research in both the Nordic and global contexts.
