Britons are living and working longer. Our ageing population is one of the most important and pressing issues facing policy makers today.

The growing elderly population presents unique challenges, particularly for public finances, health and social care, and housing. How prepared are we for these issues? To what extent will medical science, social policy, and innovation help manage the challenges ahead? 

Living longer presents a huge number of opportunities for individuals and societies. At this Rustat Conference, we bring together a range of experts from a wide range of backgrounds to discuss the possibilities.
