What La Sociedad Española de Geriatría y Gerontología does

La Sociedad Española de Geriatría y Gerontología (SEGG) is a Spanish non-profit scientific society founded in 1978 and headquartered in Madrid at Príncipe de Vergara 57-59. It serves as the national reference body for healthcare professionals, researchers, and academics working in geriatric medicine and the study of aging, operating within a Spanish population of more than 9 million people over the age of 65.

The society's core platform is a digital ecosystem anchored by the SEGG Training Portal (formacion.segg.es) for online courses, webinars, and national sessions; the peer-reviewed Revista Española de Geriatría y Gerontología (REGG) published in partnership with Elsevier; the SEGG Online Library containing 194 catalogued documents; the Sistema de Acreditación de Calidad SEGG for certifying social-services providers; and an annual national congress (66th edition announced for 2026). Supporting channels include Gaceta Senior publication, a Spotify podcast, social media presence, and the Bolsa de Trabajo job board. A 153-member leadership team coordinates with 15+ autonomous regional societies, working groups (including the Young Geriatricians and Gerontologists group), and an affiliated foundation, Fundación Envejecimiento y Salud.

SEGG operates as a membership-based organization with publicly disclosed pricing: standard annual membership costs €70, with 50% discounted tiers (€35) for members under 30 and for MIR/EIR resident physicians in their first two years. Revenue is diversified across subscription-style membership fees, training and education services, congress registration, scientific publication, and accreditation services, supplemented by GTM and marketing partnerships with pharma and nutrition players including Sanofi, Seqirus, GSK, Abbott, and Nutricia. International affiliations span EUGMS, IAGG, IAGG-EU, UEMS, FACME, and SFGG, and the society leads or participates in cross-national campaigns such as the global anti-ageism #OldLivesMatter initiative.
