Dear friends,
There has been emerging a tradition by longevity researchers and activists around the world to organize events dedicated to promotion of longevity research on or around October 1 – the UN International Day of Older Persons.
This day is sometimes referred to in some parts of the longevity activists community as the “International Longevity Day”.
In 2013, events during or around that day – ranging from small meetings of friends to seminars and rather large conferences, alongside special publications, distributions of outreach materials (petitions and flyers) and media appearances – were held in over 30 countries, and in 2014 in over 20 countries.
Let us maintain and strengthen this tradition! It is now 3 months before October 1, a good time to plan a mutually reinforcing network of events worldwide. If you plan to organize an event for that day, please let know. Together we can create an activism wave of strong impact.
Longevity activists in India have been among the most active in these events, having organized both on line and live meetings by India Future Society (IFS).
This year too, one of the main events of this year’s International Longevity Day will be in India – the conference Super Longevity in New Delhi, on October 3-4. Organized by Solutions For the Future (SFF) India. Welcome to promote and help! Also welcome to organize more events and publications for that day in your area! Please share you plans! Hopefully, this conference and the other events and efforts will give a strong boost for the advocacy of Longevity Science in India. Thank you.
Clearly, events in any other country in the area or any where are also most welcome! Thank you!
