1999 International Year of the Older Persons

ECE organized a conference on the status of the older population in Europe and North America, which was held in Sion, Switzerland, 13-15 December 1999, in collaboration with the US National Institute on Aging (NIA), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Institut Universitaire Kurt Bosch (IKB). The principal aim of the conference was to prepare an agenda of needed research in the field of aging for the 21st century. Also, as a follow-up to IYOP, the Government of Germany has generously offered to host, under the aegis of ECE, a regional Ministerial Conference on Ageing in 2002.
