Résumé :	This is the first of a two-part special issue addressing the ageing population and the opportunities and challenges for occupational therapy research and practice. Traditionally, and as has been well developed in many countries around the world, occupational therapy targeting older people delivers qualified programmes for preventive home visits, community-based rehabilitation, fall prevention, lifestyle redesign, assistive technology provision, and so forth. Research findings are increasingly transferred to practice contexts and serve to strengthen the quality of occupational therapy practices (Iwarsson, 2013). With population ageing already identified as a grand challenge at the international policy level a decade ago (European Commission, 2009), this special issue is timely and not only serves to highlight the potential of occupational therapy to contribute to much-required knowledge development, but also identifies demands facing our profession and discipline.
