Longevity Nation—Enhancing Research, Development and Education for Healthy Longevity

On October 28–31, 2024, there took place the international conference, “Longevity Nation 2024— Enhancing Research, Development and Education for Healthy Longevity” in Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel ( http://www.longevitynation.org/ ). This conference explored the challenges that rise from population aging, from interdisciplinary perspectives that reflect new science and technology, and many social, cultural, political, economic and philosophical concerns that aging raises. By bringing together leading Israeli and international voices in the longevity space—researchers, developers, investors, educators, decision makers and public figures—the Longevity Nation conference aimed to contribute to increasing the synergy of science, technology and aging society, and help advance ethical scientific and technological solutions for healthy longevity for the benefit of the entire society. As the conference emphasized, in this period of conflict in Israel and the Middle East, it is especially important to build up international collaboration as a basis for future positive development.
