National Innovation Centre for Ageing: Urban Health Business Networking Event

An evening of networking while learning about Urban Health, Natural Environments and Age-Friendly Cities. __About this Event__ If you work for a business, charity, local authority, university or other organisation on an area related to urban health, we would love to see you at this free networking event organised by Newcastle University. We're especially interested in engaging with businesses working on products and services related to either of our two themes: age-friendly cities and innovation with natural environments. The event will include short talks, from speakers such as Rose Gilroy, Professor of Ageing, Planning and Policy and co-founder of the Future Homes Alliance, a workshop and an opportunity to meet and engage with other businesses and organisations. Drinks and canapés will be provided. The event is being organised as part of the UNIversity Exchange program creating UNIque learning environments for urban HEALTH (UNI Health) project. UNI HEALTH is a Knowledge Exchange and Innovation Training Program delivered in partnership by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Newcastle University and ARUP. It seeks to engage students, researchers, citizens and professionals around the theme of urban health, involving seminars, workshops, events and student and staff exchanges. In October Newcastle led a week long programme of presentations, field trips and group work on green infrastructure for students, citizens and professionals. The UNI Health project is funded by EIT Health, a network of best-in-class health innovators backed by the European Union. EIT Health aims to increase business competitiveness, improve quality of life, and increase the sustainability of healthcare systems.

Addressing the Ageing Challenge: From Newcastle. For the world

Newcastle University believes it has never been more important to be a globally-inclusive institution and that we should use our international presence to tackle the ‘grand challenges’ that affect society locally, nationally and globally. Ageing and Health has long been recognised as one of Newcastle's main areas of multi-disciplinary strength, resulting in the formation of the Institute for Ageing in 2014 to integrate all of Newcastle University’s research on ageing into one powerful centre for research into living better for longer. Join us as we celebrate the work of the Institute for Ageing with an event titled, *Addressing the Ageing Challenge: From Newcastle. For the World.* [Programme available from the event web page](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/ageing/events/events/ageing2019lecture-addressingtheageingchallenge.html "Addressing the Ageing Challenge").

International Sarcopenia Translational Research Conference

The inaugural International Sarcopenia Translational Research Conference is being held 11-12 June 2020 at Newcastle Helix. Sarcopenia is a growing area of clinical and research activity. The need for more widespread diagnosis and development of treatment options is pressing. Translational research is key to these aims. Great strides are being made in our scientific understanding of sarcopenia and muscle health, and the challenge now is to translate these advances into better care and better treatments for older people. Find out more information on the [conference's own website](https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/istrc20/ "International Sarcopenia Translational Research Conference").
