A Multidisciplinary Perspective
the chair
The 1st International Online Conference on Healthy Ageing (IOCHA 2027) is organized by MDPI Topics, which focuses on specific multidisciplinary topics published in two or more MDPI journals, allowing authors from different research areas to unite around one theme, describe multi- and interdisciplinary applications, and develop new ideas.
This year's conference will be held online from 14th to 15th June 2027 with no registration fee, providing an exceptional opportunity for researchers, healthcare professionals, clinicians, and scientists worldwide to share their latest findings, engage in meaningful discussions, address emerging challenges, and contribute to shaping a healthier future for ageing societies.
I invite researchers and scholars to present their latest research, participate in interactive discussions, and join live Q&A sessions that will further advance research and innovation in the field of Healthy Ageing.
Key discussion topics of this conference include the following:
1. Biological foundations of healthy ageing;
2. Brain, cognition, and mental health in ageing;
All submitted abstracts will be subject to review by the conference committee before publication, ensuring high-quality scientific contributions are published and that all proposals receive constructive feedback. Accepted abstracts will be published on the conference website following final approval.
Furthermore, outstanding contributions from each session will be eligible for conference awards of monetary prizes and online certificates.
Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude for your participation and unwavering support and participation, and I hope that this conference is a great success!
Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Lydia Giménez Llort,
