INNOVATIVE AGEING CONFERENCE

Gerontological Association of Malaysia (GeM) was founded in 1991 with the aim of promoting national awareness on old age and ageing issues and concerns. It is a professional fraternity of ind-ividuals who are working in or interested with the field of gerontology – a multi-disciplinary discipline that examines the biological, medical, psychological, social, economic, cultural, technology and environmental aspects of human ageing. GeM is a registered body with the Registrar of Societies and is managed by an elected Executive Committee. GeM is affiliated with the Inte-rnational Association of Ger-ontology and Geriatrics (IAGG).

Founded in 1986, the Malaysian Invention and Design Society (MINDS) is the largest body in Malaysia representing indi-viduals, universities and com-panies who pursue excellence in invention, creativity, inn-ovation, research and dev-elopment, and industr ia l design.

MINDS is responsible for promoting high standards of invention and design, fostering professionalism and enc-ouraging continuing prof-essional development amongst its members.

MINDS is a member of the I n t e r n a t i o n a l F e d e r a t i o n o f Inventors’ Association (IFIA).
