Events

AIMSS regularly hosts events from our location at the Western Centre for Health Research & Education (WCHRE).

We regularly hold seminars and special events and an annual Research Symposium.

Annual Symposium

Our Annual Symposium is usually held in October and features oral presentations from multiple speakers and a plenary lecture. Each symposium provides a platform for our local researchers to present their results and is an excellent networking opportunity for our members and visitors.

Frailty Seminar Series

The Frailty Seminar Series are an exchange of evidence based practices and research advances in all aspects of frailty and are open to researchers, students, policy makers & healthcare professionals involved with (or outside) geriatric medicine.

Seminar Series

Our AIMSS Seminar Series began in 2016 to bring worldwide respected leaders in the field to present their results and to develop new potential collaborations with our local members. View a list of upcoming and past seminars hosted by the institute.
