六、活動內容：
辦理緣起與契機
亞太活躍老化聯盟(Active Aging Consortium in Asia Pacific，ACAP)自 2005 年於日本福岡成立以來，致力於串聯亞太 17 國及歐美跨領域學者，目前已建立跨越亞洲、北美及歐洲之國際學術交流網絡，成員涵蓋老年學、老年醫學、公共衛生、社會工作及健康照護等相關領域。並與 International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics(IAGG) 及 International Federation on Ageing(IFA)等國際組織密切合作。本校於2026 年於親王獎會議(Prince Mahidol Award Conference, PMAC)中，深獲亞太活躍老化聯盟理事會之肯定與支持，進而由高雄醫學大學護理學院(包含高齡長期照護碩士學位學程及護理學系)正式取得2027年亞太活躍老化聯盟國際研討會之主辦權。此為該年會首次於臺灣舉辦，不僅象徵我國在高齡研究國際合作的重大突破，更為臺灣長照經驗輸出亞太地區創造了絕佳契機。本研討會將廣邀亞太各國學者專家與實務工作者共襄盛舉， 透過專題演講、學術論文發表及論壇對話等多元形式，分享最新研究成果與政策推動經驗。期望透過本次國際盛會，建立亞太高齡研究的重要學術交流平台，進一步提升臺灣在該領域的國際能見度與學術影響力，並加速研究成果向政策轉化與實務應用。
大會核心主題
以「Building the Care Economy in Asia-Pacific: From Active Aging to Precision and Smart Care Practice」為主軸，聚焦超高齡社會下照護經濟、活躍老化與精準智慧照護之跨國對話與跨域整合。
議程與交流形式
會前工作坊（Pre-conference Workshop）：安排實地參訪「屏東縣失智照護教研中心」，將活躍老化與照護經濟理論延伸至地方實務，展示臺灣由單一據點擴散至失智友善社區網絡之治理經驗，落實長者社會包容（Social Inclusion）與賦能。藉此為各國學者與實務工作者搭建對話平台，共同激盪出應對超高齡社會的創新策略。
多元學術發表與專題研討：規劃 6 場大會學術講座（Keynote speech）與 18 場次專題演講（Session talk）；同時設立口頭論文發表（Oral Presentation）與海報論文發表（Poster Presentation），為國內外學者、實務專家、青年研究者與研究生提供成果發表及跨國交流平台。
