The 3rd World Conference on Ageing and Gerontology (WCAG-2026) in Frankfurt, Germany, is organised by United Research Forum (URF) and aims to create a compact yet high-impact platform around ageing research, clinical geriatrics and long-term care innovation. The programme usually blends biomedical, clinical and social perspectives, with tracks on healthy ageing, chronic disease management, cognitive decline, palliative care, elder-friendly public policy and care-home management.

URF conferences often highlight case studies and implementation science: what actually works in hospitals, nursing homes and community settings. Panels may look at integrated care pathways for older adults, falls-prevention programs, transitional care after hospital discharge, and family-caregiver support models. Frankfurt, a major European financial and transport hub, is convenient for delegates coming from across Europe, the UK, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

For Indian attendees, WCAG-2026 can be a good “bridge” event: smaller and more focused than mega-congresses like IAGG, but international enough to provide meaningful exposure and collaboration opportunities. Researchers and practitioners can submit abstracts to share India-specific innovations – from community-based elder-care models to low-cost assistive technologies – and connect with European colleagues interested in comparative work. The URF contact details (UK-based) make follow-up easy for speakers, sponsors and partners looking to build longer-term relationships.
