Portal Mayores is a web site about older persons, specialising in Geriatrics and Gerontology, which was created in 2001 as a result of a collaboration agreement between the IMSERSO (Institute of Older Persons and Social Services; Instituto de Mayores y Servicios Sociales) and the CSIC (Spanish Scientific Research Council), to set-up and develop a senior citizens’ information system on the Internet.
Portal Mayores’ main objective is to create a virtual information service, where information and documentation concerning the elderly are collected, organised and published, primarily relating to Spain and its autonomous regions.
