Policy Rounds Series
APPTA’s & AGE-WELL NCE’s Policy Rounds webinar series bring current aging and technology research in Canada to the forefront through policy oriented briefing presentations. With the goal of enhancing knowledge translation in AgeTech research, Policy Rounds are geared towards government stakeholders, researchers, students, older adults, caregivers, community organizations, and the public at-large so that everyone can explore important topics impacting the lives of older adults and their caregivers.
The Policy Rounds is a monthly recurring event.
