Who We Are

The Global Ageing Network is an international network of leaders in ageing services, housing, research, technology and design. We bring together experts from around the world, lead education initiatives and provide a place for innovative ideas in aging services to be explored. We pave the way to improve best practices in aged care so that older people everywhere can live healthier, stronger, more independent lives.

Our History

The Global Ageing Network was founded as the International Association of Homes and Services for the Ageing (IAHSA) in 1994 by an international group of leaders who realized that the global ageing phenomenon would have a profound impact on our earth’s elders. Their vision was to create a platform for policymakers, researchers, business and ageing services providers to collectively share their knowledge and best practices to enhance quality of care for the elderly. Over the years, the Global Ageing Network has created an international forum for the exchange of research, services, products and training that make up the Global Ageing Network.
