Historically elders represented a residual part of the society: this frame has heterogeneously altered in the last decades. The ongoing processes of aging, which is part of the demographic changing of the population, require a constant attention to programming, promoting and realizing coherent social and health policies. With this aim, appropriate reflections and strategic projects joined with experiences and best practices, testing of innovative models, administrative devolutions, support to social housing, health digital efficient and sustainable interventions will be necessary. 
The session welcomes papers that will address both theoretical and empirical approaches relating to the promotion of healthy active aging, prevention, treatment and diagnosis of diseases reintroducing a link between aging and a sectoral new public policies.
