Dear friends,
Following the tradition of 2013, 2014 and 2015, there are now being organized events and publications toward the “Longevity Day” (based on the UN International Day of Older Persons - October 1) in support of biomedical aging and longevity research.

This has been a worldwide international campaign successfully adopted by many longevity activists groups. Last year, events, meetings, publications and promotions were organized in the framework of this campaign in over 40 countries. Some promotions reached hundreds of thousands of viewers. This campaign has also received factual endorsement and publicity from several internationally and nationally distinguished scientific and advocacy associations.

Hopefully, this year, the campaign will be no less enriching, unifying and impactful. Though this year, it was suggested, while keeping the "longevity day" concept as would be desirable to particular groups and activists, rather to emphasize and organize the longevity promotion events in October in a new framework – as “The Longevity Month” – as usually the “longevity day” events spread through the entire month of October. Various “commemorative months” to support particular advocacy issues is a well established and effective practice, and a dedicated “month” can give people more flexibility and space to organize events and publications. The recognition of this commemorative month campaign, however, would depend on the strength of every individual event and publication of this campaign.

Several events are already included as a part of the "Longevity Day/Month" celebrations. One of them is the conference of the International Society on Aging and Disease (ISOAD) that will take place in Stanford, on September 30 - October 2 http://www.longevity...-30-oct-2-2016/
In case someone organizes some meeting or publication for the Longevity Day / Longevity Month campaign in October – in support of biomedical research of aging and longevity – will be grateful for letting know (sharing/linking). It will also give encouragement to others! I will try to make a register and publicize all the meetings of the campaign together.
