The European Sociological Association's Research Network 01 (RN01) is pleased to announce the mid-term conference titled "Old Societies, New Ageing", to be held on the 6th and 7th of November 2025 in Murcia, Spain.

This conference seeks to explore the multifaceted dimensions of ageing in contemporary societies, with a special focus on the interplay between historical societal structures and the evolving experiences of ageing populations. We welcome contributions from scholars across various disciplines who examine ageing from sociological, cultural, political, and policy perspectives, as well as interdisciplinary approaches that expand the understanding of ageing in modern societies.

We invite theoretical, empirical, and methodological papers addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Intergenerational relationships and social cohesion
• Ageing and health inequalities
• Life course perspectives on ageing
• Policy challenges for ageing societies
• Digital ageing and technology adaptation
• Migration and transnational ageing
• Cultural representations of ageing
• Gender and ageing
• Ageing in rural and urban contexts

Registration opens May 1st, with the following fees:

ESA members/PhD students/Vulnerable scholars: 100 Euros

No ESA members: 200 Euros

Limited number of travel grants will be available for PhD students, up to 350 euros per student, to be reimbursed upon attendance to the Conference. Applicants must use the registration page of the event to apply. Grants will be awarded to the three best presentations among the applicants. The board members of the Research Network on Aging of the ESA will act as juror, reserving the right not to award grants if none of the presentations meets the necessary standards.
