The British-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce is organising a symposium on 10 June 2026, dedicated to one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time: healthy ageing and the role of vaccination in protecting and strengthening the resilience of the older population. The event will take place at the premises of the Medical Chamber of Slovenia.
As Europe’s demographic landscape continues to evolve, the health, wellbeing, and active participation of older populations are becoming increasingly central to both national and European policy discussions. The symposium will bring together experts from the United Kingdom and Slovenia to share knowledge, evidence, and experience on how vaccination strategies can significantly contribute to healthy ageing, and why investing in them makes sense not only from a medical, but also from an economic and societal perspective.
The topic is also highly relevant from a business perspective. With an ageing workforce, supporting employee health and sustained productivity is becoming increasingly important. Vaccination plays a key role in reducing absenteeism, supporting an active and engaged workforce, and contributes to the seamless functioning of the company.
This is a complex topic that requires a broader, cross-sectoral approach. The symposium is therefore intended for all those interested in improving the health and quality of life of the older population in Slovenia, including healthcare professionals, public health experts, general practitioners, immunologists, and policymakers, as well as representatives of patient organisations, pensioners’ associations, and the business community, given the growing importance of workforce health, productivity, and active participation as the population ages.
Further details on the program and confirmed speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.
Attendance at the event is free of charge; however, prior registration is required via this link. The event will be held in English, with on-screen translation provided in Slovenian.
