Dr. H. Mollenkopf: Gerontechnology through the ages - past problems and new challenges

Dr. Heidrun Mollenkopf is President of AGE Platform Europe and Board Member of BAGSO, the German National Association of Senior Citizens' Organisations.
Heidrun Mollenkopf is a sociologist and gerontologist. Before she retired, she was Senior Researcher at the German Centre for Research on Ageing (DZFA) at the University of Heidelberg. Her main research focus was the interplay among personal, societal, technical, and environmental conditions regarding quality of life in old age. She has pursued this interest in several large-scale research projects on technology and ageing, first at the University of Mannheim, then at the Social Science Research Center Berlin (WZB) and the Free University of Berlin, and finally at the former DZFA.
