With these first fruits from the Geron-Infusion Education (GIE) projects, ZeShan Foundation further supports IAA(now known as Research Centre for Gerontology and Family Studies) to transform its website into Hong Kong’s first online knowledge hub dedicated to active ageing, with more interactive and user-friendly elements.
