Many people wonder about the plans for this conference with reference to the security situation in Israel. The plan is the following: If the Israeli universities are open, the conference will take place physically (with an option to participate on zoom). If the Israeli universities are closed, the entire conference will be immediately moved to zoom. In any case, the conference will take place as scheduled on October 28-31.

Looking forward to seeing you at the conference!

The dates are set for the next Longevity Nation conference.
It will take place on October 28-31, this year, in Bar-Ilan University, Israel.

The conference is organized by Vetek Association - the Movement for Longevity and Quality of Life, Israel, in cooperation with the department of Science, Technology and Society of Bar-Ilan University STS@BIU and other allied organizations.
https://longevitynation.org/

A stellar cohort of world-renowned speakers have confirmed their presentations. More world-leading scientists, developers and other key figures in the longevity field are expected to join as speakers.
https://longevitynation.org/

The conference will be mainly physical, yet it will also be possible to attend online.

Security concerns are understandable. We are optimistic the security situation will hopefully allow us to conduct the conference in complete safety. If the Israeli universities are open, the conference will take place. If the universities are closed, the conference will be moved online. We will adjust the planning according to the situation.

In any case, the conference will take place, to sustain, encourage and further develop the field of healthy longevity research, development and education in Israel and in cooperation with Israel!

To encourage and facilitate the participation and networking in the field, especially for young researchers and students, especially in this period, it was decided to make this conference free to attend, subject to registration.
One can register in the link below.
https://longevitynation.org/register-and-donate/

Yet, we are grateful for support of the activities of our non-profit Vetek (Seniority) Association that promotes research, development and education for healthy longevity in Israel and in cooperation with Israel, including organizing this conference.
One can donate to the Vetek (Seniority) Association using the same link.
https://longevitynation.org/register-and-donate/

This conference is expected to reinforce the resilience of the healthy longevity field in Israel, and strengthen the cooperation in the healthy longevity field within Israel and in cooperation between Israel and other countries.

Looking forward to seeing you with us!

חג פסח שמח!
חירות מטרור ומתחלואת ההזדקנות!

Freedom from terrorism and aging-related ill-health!

Very sad to have just learned of the tragic death in battle of Joseph Gitarts, our co-author in several papers on modeling aging and longevity. Joseph showed a brilliant promise to advance the goal of healthy longevity for all. This promise was killed by the terrorists, as they have killed much of the future of human longevity and well-being, not only in Israel. Hopefully the better future will prevail.

See Joseph’s final letter to his parents and testimony about his passion for aging and longevity research.
https://jewishstandard.timesofisrael.com/help-israel-i-am-ok/

And some words from Joseph about our joint projects:
“It was a pleasure to contribute to a body of work that brings together healthcare and technology. It is a stepping stone on the path towards a future where we realize the potential of modern technology to significantly enhance the quality of life for all of humanity. 🚀”
