On 19 September, CEPAR hosted a delegation from the Beijing Municipal Health Commission to discuss CEPAR’s research program on population ageing and healthy ageing.

CEPAR researchers Scientia Professor John Piggott, Professor of Practice Philip O’Keefe, Associate Professor Katja Hanewald as well as Research Fellows Dr Rafal Chomik, Dr Lingfeng Lyu and Dr Trang Le presented how CEPAR integrates economics, social policy, and health research to inform ageing-related decision-making in Australia and the Asia–Pacific.

Insights were exchanged from Beijing’s own initiatives in ageing health, elderly care, and community-based support systems and opportunities were explored to establish linkages and potential collaboration with CEPAR.
