Collaborating Network of International Organisations

INIANET

INIANET is an initiative by INIA to facilitate the exchange of information and thus to fulfil the Institute's role as a bridge between developed and developing countries on issues in the field of Ageing.

A meeting of the Collaborating Network took place in June 1989 during the XIV World Congress of Gerontology held in Acapulco Mexico, when a strategy was devised for the Network to be established as a dynamic information centre.  Presently, there are 59 INIANET members from more than 34 developed and developing countries.  They are regularly updated on ageing issues and on major events and activities occurring at INIA and within the various member organisations through the Institute's quarterly journal BOLD. Access to information is also provided to Network members through other 'ad hoc' publications. With recent developments in electronic communications, Network members who do not have their own facilities are being offered the opportunity to include information on their major events and activities in INIA's Web Page on the Internet www.inia.org.mt.
