参加したコース生の感想
Rogie Royce Carandang 医学系研究科国際保健専攻 博士課程3年I learned a lot of things from the scientific presentations, poster sessions and roundtable discussions. The scientific presentations were encompassing which covers many different aspects of aging, from the biomolecular level to theories and practice. What I liked most was the discussion about translating research into practice. We know many things about aging but what is missing is the application of our knowledge in the community. By doing action research, through a bottom-up approach, we can make a difference in the quality of life of older adults. I also had a great time meeting old faces. Since the University of Tokyo hosted IARU two years ago and APRU last year, I was able to meet my old friends and colleagues in IARU Singapore. Also, since the organizers invited many community partners, agencies, and academic institutions, we were able to have significant and productive roundtable discussions. We discussed aging issues related to health and longevity, employability, and housing. Overall, the 3-day conference was worth the time and a valuable opportunity to learn, engage, and share to others what we have done so far. |
