Innovating Aging: Reflections from Presenting AI and Aging Research at the BSG 2025 Conference from Chukwuebuka Prince Onyekere, BSG2025 Bursary Recipient
What an exciting experience it was to finally attend my first international conference! Attending the British Society of Gerontology (BSG) Conference 2025 at the University of Surrey, UK was a defining moment in my early academic journey as a first-year PhD student at York University, Canada. I was honoured to present a poster from the findings of my Master’s in Gerontology dissertation from my University of Southampton, titled…

BSG Emerging Researchers in Ageing: Reflections on our 2025 Conference Bursaries
This year the BSG & ERA conferences were held at the University of Surrey. The theme of the ERA conference was Navigating Creativity, Connection & Change: A Future Vision for Emerging Researchers. During the conference we facilitated a range of ECR presentations encompassing different styles (traditional, Pecha Kucha and 3 minute thesis style), ECR poster presentations, workshops on creative non-fiction and narrative CVs and networking sessions.

BSG Conference Bursary 2025 My Experience Attending the 54th British Society of Gerontology
Perpetua Obi Attending the 54th British Society of Gerontology (BSG) Conference was an inspiring and rewarding experience that combined academic exchange, professional networking, and personal growth. I had the opportunity to present my poster titled “A Scoping Review of Sexual Health and Experiences of Older Adults Aged 55 Years and Above Globally.” This work addresses a subject that remains under-discussed in both research and practice, yet is central to the overall well-being and dignity of older adults.

BSG Conference Bursary 2025 TRANSPARENT BOUNDARIES
Professor Emerita Lesley Millar MBE My Paper for the BSG Conference 2025 described the research project ‘Transparent Boundaries’, conducted between 2011 and 2014 for which I had been Principal Investigator. The project brought together organisations from Italy, Greece, Denmark and Poland together with my university: The University for the Creative Arts. Funded by the European Culture Programme it was a direct response to the Ex-Ante Evaluation of the European Parliament and Council’s decision to promote mental and physical well-being in the older age by increasing public sensitivity and stimulate active debate.

BSG Conference Bursary 2025
Patricia Donovan Taking those first steps in any career is often daunting. It's often stressful and demanding and full of unknowns and even self-doubt. Then come the milestone moments: the ones that loom before us bringing anticipation, excitement and a dose of anxiety; the ones that seem to take place at simultaneously a glacial and a lightning pace; the ones that finally bring a sense of accomplishment and affirmation that we are on the right track and making progress.

BSG Conference Bursary 2025: Reflections from an Early-Careers Researcher
Thank you, Andrew King and team at Surrey, for putting on such a well-organised and inspiring conference this year. As an early-career health science researcher, attending the BSS 2025 has been both energising and a powerful reminder of the cross-disciplinary collaboration required to better supporting older people. Too offer, we work in silos, using different terminology, frameworks and priorities. What stood out from this conference was the intentional creation of creative spaces that facilitate meaningful dialogue between disciplines.

Reflections on BSG 2025 by Dr Lesley Boyd Firstly I would like to thank the BSG once more for my bursary to this year’s conference at the University of Surrey. Without it, I could not have attended and I have a firm belief that the networking, stimulating ideas, contacts and friends that it generated will be all absolutely invaluable to my future growth as a later-life researcher.

Vanessa Davey, Secretary, BSG Tech & Ageing Special Interest Group In June 2025, the British Society of Gerontology’s Tech & Ageing Special Interest Group (SIG) convened researchers, practitioners, and advocates for a thought-provoking symposium on Digital Exclusion and Digital Identity. At a time when digital systems increasingly mediate everything from GP appointments to grocery shopping, this event asked a timely and uncomfortable question:
