Next Generation Summit - Investing in Longevity Forum
Next Generation Summit explores the topic of ‘First Movers’. First Movers are very important for society as they look beyond the short-term challenges and focus instead on developing innovative ideas. While some of these ideas will never come to fruition, others will make it on to the market and may even become the new norm one day. Next Generation conference provides an audience of interested investors with first-hand insights from Julius Baer’s leading experts and renowned guest speakers on the topic of ‘First Movers’ – people who look beyond short-term challenges and instead try and test innovative ideas. -
69th World Health Assembly
The World Health Assembly is the decision-making body of WHO. It is attended by delegations from all WHO Member States and focuses on a specific health agenda prepared by the Executive Board. The main functions of the World Health Assembly are to determine the policies of the Organization, appoint the Director-General, supervise financial policies, and review and approve the proposed programme budget.
On the event the Health Assembly is requested to consider the draft global strategy and plan of action on aging and health and to endorse it. -
Gerontology Symposium
The mission of the Gerontology Symposium is to focus on expert opinion on current trends and tendencies in gerontology targeted to inhibit too fast processes of aging and bring them within physiological limits estimated as such in modern gerontology and anti-aging medicine. Evidence-based data, safety and scientific argumentation are given priority.
World renowned experts have been invited to draw up recommendations for application of carefully argued means and methods in medical practice. -
Biology of Aging - Gordon Research Seminar
The Gordon Research Seminar on Biology of Aging is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.
The focus of this meeting is the fundamental processes and pathways of aging emerging from studies of model organisms, how these concepts advance the understanding of human aging and age associated diseases, and how this knowledge can be translated into successful interventions to ameliorate the functional decline of age. The GRS promote interactions and constructive networking with successful established scientists as well as with their peers, and engage in workshops with role models from academia, industry and government on career development. -

Precision Medicine and Personalized Health
The one-day Conference 2018 on Precision Medicine and Personalized Health of the Federation of European Academies of Medicine (FEAM), hosted by the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS), focused on recent developments in precision medicine and personalised health, and attracted senior representatives of the biomedical community from Switzerland and from across Europe. The key message coming out of the FEAM conference on personalised health was that the patient should always be at the heart of new biomedical research. Personalised medicine is a relatively new field of medicine that’s managed to capture the minds and imagination of the general public. -

Aging & Cognition 2019
This Aging & Cognition conference series aims to stimulate research in the domain of cognitive aging and related research fields in Europe by bringing together European and non-European scientists. Cognition is defined in the broadest sense, including sensory, cognitive, motor and emotional aspects, as well as human and animal studies. Whereas cognition and cognitive neuroscience for healthy aging are the main focus of the conference series, an additional focus targets interventions aimed at influencing age-related cognitive deficits. -
Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
The theme of the conference is “Global Voice and Awareness on Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care”. The conference covers the translational nature of Neurological research, with emphasis on both the basic science as well as its applications in Industry and Academia. Presentations include major research advances in Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, brain injury, aging awareness, Parkinson’s diseases, dementia nursing, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, prevention and therapy of the disease, and other related neurological disorders. The groundbreaking series of Alzheimer's, Dementia and Aging Awareness Conferences attract international medical and scientific professionals from worldwide. -
Personalized Oncology 2019

Integrative Biology of Aging: New Insights from Molecules to Systems
Recent studies from diverse model organisms, such as worms, flies, and mice, have demonstrated that systemic interplay between multiple tissues and organs regulates aging and longevity. Additionally, subcellular systems such as organelles and stress pathways can often communicate intra- and intercellular. To dissect such complex systemic regulation of aging and longevity, significant progress has been made in identifying control networks and basic architectures, but how communication is achieved at different levels of organization and assembled into larger architectures is only beginning to be explored. The major objective of the GRS is to explore these themes in a supportive setting that particularly focuses on the needs of graduate students and postdoctoral trainees, and prepare them for a full and productive participation in the GRC to follow. -
