And that’s a wrap on #EUCAS2025 at the University of Pavia! Four days of inspiring talks, new collaborations, and vibrant discussions. We’re incredibly grateful to all participants and keynote speakers, and proud of the outcome. See you next time in Belfast! ☺️

The final parallel sessions of #EUCAS2025 explored cognitive and perceptual changes in aging, complemented by a compelling symposium on taking a complex systems perspective on aging—closing with big-picture thinking and fresh approaches.

The final day of #EUCAS2025 began with keynote speaker Alan Gow on “Translating ‘Factors Associated with Brain Health’ to ‘Factors That Promote Brain Health’: From Observation to Intervention.” A motivating talk on turning insights into action for healthy cognitive aging.

We ended Day 3 of #EUCAS2025 with a wonderful social dinner at the beautiful Collegio Fratelli Cairoli. Great food, lively conversations, and a perfect setting to connect and unwind after a full day of science.

This afternoon at #EUCAS2025, keynote Fabienne Collette presented “How Changes in Brain Activity May Help to Preserve Cognitive Performance During Healthy Aging.” Insightful findings on neural adaptability and resilience in aging brains.

The morning of Day 3 at #EUCAS2025 continued with rich parallel sessions on cognitive training, individual differences in cognition, and a symposium on pragmatics. A great mix of perspectives on cognitive aging!

Starting off Day 3 of #EUCAS2025 with a keynote by Michael Wagner on “Subjective Cognitive Decline in Aging and in Alzheimer’s Disease.” A fascinating look at how self-perceived memory issues can relate to early Alzheimer’s risk and the potential for early detection.

We wrapped up Day 2 with our junior social event—a fun scavenger hunt through the city that led us to a well-deserved, typical Italian aperitivo. Great science, great company, and even better spritzes! #EUCAS2025

In the afternoon keynote, @natalieebner.bsky.social presented “New Directions for Studying the Aging Social-Cognitive Brain”—a compelling look at how aging shapes social-cognitive processes and brain function.

The morning continued with engaging sessions on new methodologies, social interactions in aging, and a dynamic symposium on cognitive control. A rich start to the day filled with innovation and insight!

Day 2 of #EUCAS2025 kicked off with an inspiring keynote by Paolo Ghisletta on “Challenges and Opportunities of Psychological Aging Research.” A thought-provoking dive into the complexities—and promise—of aging studies.
