TIIHA invites proposals for virtual presentations for a symposium exploring healthy aging and longevity. This event is designed to encompass a wide variety of topics in the context of issues affecting healthy aging, including the incorporation of an interdisciplinary approach in a specific intervention/research program/situation. We invite proposals for 10-minute presentations in a variety of formats, including individual presentations, panel presentations (a series of 10-minute presentations grouped around a common theme) and poster presentations.

We also welcome proposals from our students (proposals must be either submitted with a faculty member as a co-presenter OR approved by a faculty supervisor).

• Title of the presentation;
• Name, email address, school, and telephone number of the presenter(s); and
• Abstract (see instructions below).
• Applicable for student only (without a faculty co-presenter) applications: full name and email address of faculty supervisor.
