The Observatory of Urban and Metropolitan Processes is inviting participants to the seminar “Seniors and the Silver Economy – opportunities, challenges, prospects”, which will take place on October 21 at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Silesia in Sosnowiec.

The subject of the seminar focuses on the diagnosis of the elderly population in the Silesian Voivodeship and issues of senior policy, which due to current demographic trends is one of the key public policies in Poland and Europe.
The event is part of the project called the Local Government Academy, which aims to promote professional knowledge and build lasting cooperation of local government representatives with the world of science.

The observatory is a facility established by the University of Silesia. One of its main tasks is to gather information and expand knowledge in the field of social, cultural, political and economic processes taking place in the Silesian conurbation.
