Words of Welcome

Dear Colleagues

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend EAHSA's third conference in Stockholm May 27–28, 2010.

We have a high quality conference program and a considerable number of expert speakers from various parts of Europe will be sharing their experiences. The content of the program reflects the substantial level of knowledge possessed by researchers and practitioners across Europe, as well as the importance that government agencies attach to issues relating to the elderly.

Micasa Fastigheter's Board Chairman and Commissioner for the Elderly, Ewa Samuelsson, will of course open the conference and welcome delegates to Stockholm.

Micasa Fastigheter intends to organize a number of interesting study visits for Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. The intention is to display modern eldercare and show what is happening in Sweden regarding research into technologies for the elderly in collaboration with the KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

A special area adjoining the conference venue will be set up where companies can exhibit their products and services.

The City of Stockholm has offered to hold a reception in Stockholm City Hall on May 27, where the host will be City Council Chairman, Bo Bladholm.

We look forward to seeing you in Stockholm.

Anders Nordstrand,
Managing Director, Micasa Fastigheter
