ERA 2007 Conference

WELCOME

ERA 2007 aims to showcase the latest ageing-related research from a range of disciplines. Previous ERA conferences have been organised by the Australasian Centre on Ageing at the University of Queensland and held in Brisbane annually since 2002. Last year the conference moved away from Queensland for the very first time and was successfully held in Sydney. Carrying on with the tradition, this year the conference is being held in Adelaide and future years will see the conference move around Australia. ERA 2007 is part of the emerging researchers initiative of the ARC/NHMRC Research Network in Ageing Well.

Adelaide is a city of great visual harmony and has a classical elegant style, superbly set beside the River Torrens between the Adelaide Hills and waters of Gulf St Vincent. The wine and festival capital of Australia, Adelaide is a place to experience the buzz, culture and convenience of a big city without the frustrations. The city centre, surrounded by parklands, is a charming blend of historic buildings, wide streets, groovy shops, street cafes and restaurants. And because Adelaide is knows as the 20-minute city, you can experience it all on a series of easy short walks. Within minutes of arriving in Adelaide you'll soon realise that it's not trying to be some other place. It has its own quiet confident air of individuality that gives it instant appeal.

WINE and DINE
Your food and wine experience begins right in the city centre with the Adelaide Central Market; the National Wine Centre of Australia; vibrant cafes and restaurants boasting some of Australia's best chefs; and events such as Tasting Australia. You'll find a mix of restaurant strips dotted right across the city - Rundle Street East for alfresco dining. The Parade at Norwood for great Italian food. Gouger Street for seafood and Asian fare.
