Description:	This volume emerges as result of two European research workshops: “Ageing, Health, and Gender” 29.-30.04.2005 and “Networking for Women’s Health across Regional Diversity in Europe: Experiences, Concepts and Strategies” 8./10.10.2004, both have taken place in Kassel, Germany. The focus of the workshops has been on gender-specific conditions and possible strategies for managing resources and strains, and their effects on health and life-situations in old age. Thus the emphasis has been on strategies promoting “successful” coping with the changes brought on by old age, but also the roles of gender, gender-relations and social environments in old age. The objectives of the workshops have been the cross-border exchange of information on models, best practice and conducive conditions, and the question of how to possibly implement such models and strategies. Two volumes1 now emerge as a result of the workshops, which examine in several articles different aspects of the topic from various national contexts. A main point of interest has particularly been to strengthen the East-West dialogue as well as the co-operation with researcher from the new EU member states
