The 2-week program will investigate the challenges that a rapidly aging society presents for the individual and as a result for the field of medicine. The lectures and seminars will tackle these questions from various perspectives and will include contributions from medical staff working in the most diverse of disciplines.

Key topics will include:

• demographic trends / demographic problems
• specific diseases / problem constellations of elderly people
• strategies and treatment options to deal with (and to some degree solve) these specific diseases / problem constellations
• ethical aspects of medical treatment for the elderly
• technical and medical devices as a  support for the aging patient.
