The Longevity Nation conference is set to explore the interdisciplinary interrelations of science, technology, and society in addressing the challenges of population aging. The conference aims to increase public, academic, and state support for the longevity field, building a supportive ecosystem for the longevity field in Israel and beyond. The conference has previously had practical impacts, such as encouraging calls for research proposals on aging and longevity by the Israel Ministry of Science and BIRAX Ageing. The goal of the upcoming conference is to revive the “Enhancing research, development and education for healthy longevity” program, and the conference’s name reflects that goal. The conference boasts 36 speakers, including world-leading figures in the longevity field, and 26 partners and sponsors, including world-leading longevity organizations. The conference is expected to build up the longevity community and encourage more participation and involvement in the field.
The Longevity Nation conference, both online and in-person, is set to take place for two days at Bar Ilan University in Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv, beginning on Sunday. The conference aims to explore the interdisciplinary interrelations of science, technology, and society in addressing the challenges of population aging. Attendance at the conference is free and is expected to strongly contribute to increasing the synergy of science, technology, and aging society. Additionally, the conference hopes to advance ethical scientific and technological solutions for healthy longevity for the benefit of the entire society.
The conference boasts a first-class lineup of speakers, including Ilia Stambler, Aubrey de Grey, Nir Barzilai, Evelyne Bischof, Alexey Moskalev, Dmitry Kaminskiy, Stephanie Dainow, Alexey Strygin, Björn Schumacher, Jose Luis Cordeiro, and Lisa Fabiny-Kiser.
According to Ilia Stambler, the Chairman and CSO of Vetek (Seniority) Association and The Movement for Longevity and Quality of Life, who is also speaking at the conference, the main goal is advocacy. The conference aims to raise awareness in the public, among decision makers and the academic community, about the promises and challenges of the longevity field. This advocacy aims to increase public, academic, and state support for the longevity field.
By building on Israel’s strengths in the longevity field, the conference aims to help build the supportive longevity ecosystem in Israel, boost the prominence of the field in Israel, and enhance Israel’s international standing and cooperation in the longevity field. Moreover, the conference aims to build up longevity R&D and education support programs for stakeholders in Israel and international collaborators.
Overall, the Longevity Nation conference serves as a platform for enhancing research development and education for healthy longevity by bringing together leading voices in the field and public figures. The conference aims to promote advocacy and raise awareness about the promises and challenges of the longevity field, in addition to building a supportive ecosystem for the longevity field in Israel and beyond.
According to Ilia Stambler, Chairman and CSO of Vetek (Seniority) Association and The Movement for Longevity and Quality of Life, the Longevity Nation conference is expected to be a highly successful means of advocacy. The conference aims to build up the longevity community, spread awareness about the field, and encourage more people and support to participate in the field. The conference has been effective in the past and has had practical impacts, such as encouraging calls for research proposals on aging and longevity by the Israel Ministry of Science and BIRAX Ageing.
In fact, previous conferences organized by the Vetek Association in 2018, including one in Knesset, gave rise to the section on “Enhancing research, development and education for healthy longevity and prevention of aging-related diseases” in the Israel National Masterplan on Aging published by Knesset in 2019. Therefore, the goal of the upcoming conference is to revive that program, and the conference’s name reflects that goal.
Due to the pandemic, live conferences have been put on hold, but Vetek has organized many online longevity conferences during this time. However, Stambler explains that live conferences are much more effective for advocacy and community building, and therefore the Longevity Nation conference is being revived as a means of advocacy.
The Longevity Nation conference boasts 36 speakers, including world-leading figures in the longevity field, and 26 partners and sponsors, including world-leading longevity organizations. The conference is expected to build up the longevity community and encourage more participation and involvement in the field.
Longevity.Technology is one of the 26 partners and sponsors of the conference, sharing the same goals as the conference.
