- Abstract
The year 1041 can be considered as its beginning, when the first orphanage in Ljubljana was founded. The development of gerontology on institutional level started after 2nd World War, when the Institute for gerontology and geriatrics was founded in 1966 under the management of prof. dr. Bojan Accetto. The Institute had three main functions: pedagogical-educational, scientific-research and hospital function. In 1989 the Institute was renamed in Klinika za žilne bolezni (Hospital department for vascular diseases), which practically caused the end of its interdisciplinary educational and research activity. In 1992 Anton Trstenjak Institute of gerontology and intergenerational relations was founded, which focuses the majority of its research, pedagogical and organisational forces on quality ageing and intergenerational relations since the beginning. The Institute publishes the only Slovenian scientific and professional journal for gerontology and intergenerational relations Kakovostna starost (Good quality of old age) since 1998. The gerontological-intergenerational orientation of the Institute is integrated gerontology.
