Natasa Todorovic

Natasa Todorovic graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy, Department of Psychology of the Belgrade University and is a Master of Public Health and current PhD candidate at the Medical School of the Belgrade University. Her primary work over the past two decades has focused on the effects of demographic ageing, in particular on elder abuse and different aspects of care (long-term care systems, informal caregivers). She has coordinated several regional EU-supported projects focusing on these themes and is an active researcher looking into different ageing-related topics such as violence against older persons and older women, accessibility of long-term care etc. She is active in advocacy for improved quality of life of older persons at global, regional and national level through her work in the Red Cross of Serbia, as well as through several international platforms. She is the regional representative for Europe of the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA), the President of the Gerontological society of Serbia, a member of GAROP Steering Group and was a member of the HelpAge International network governance task force advising the HAI governing board. In 2018 she was awarded the International Rosalie S. Wolf Award in Elder Abuse Prevention, by INPEA. The same year she was awarded a “Hrast” award for supporting lifelong learning and active ageing by the Gerontological Centre Belgrade. She is a co-author of multiple scientific papers and conference proceedings as well as co-author of 20 publications.
