WORKSHOP on “The Biology of Ageing”. British Council/CSIC Parador de Carmona, (Seville, Spain), 11 - 15 March 2012
The British Council (BC) in Spain in collaboration with the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) is organising a series of scientific workshops to provide opportunities for researchers from the UK and Spain to meet face-to-face for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and information on priority topics and to explore future areas of research and collaboration.
The workshop will consist of 10 keynote presentations of 30min each (5 from Spanish researchers and 5 from British researchers) and 15min presentation from the rest of the participants, early to mid career researchers (10 from the UK and 10 from Spain) to be selected from those applying. The official language for all presentations will be English.

It aims to offer greater understandings of the range of issues recognised by those working on issues of ageing and older people. It will contribute insights from across disciplines in order to move beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries by exploring common strategies and solutions in the following areas:
