Swiss Platform Ageing Society

The platform is a network of over a hundred organisations working on population ageing. It promotes interdisciplinary dialogue and undertakes foundation work for practitioners, government and administrative bodies.

Aim of the platform

The ageing society is a demographic shift that requires adaptations and responses in many areas of life. As part of the Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021–2030) initiative launched by the World Health Organization (WHO), we operate the Ageing Society platform. This brings together players from science, associations, business, administration and government, and provides knowledge as a source of guidance.

Swiss Platform Ageing Society is an initiative by the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences and is funded by SAGW. The platform’s president is Delphine Roulet Schwab. A steering committee is responsible for operational management. Its members are:

Delphine Roulet Schwab, Professor at La Source School of Nursing (HES-SO) and president of Gerontologie CH (platform president)
Fleur Jaccard, Managing Director of the Age-Stiftung foundation
