In 2024, the ILA continued on its mission to promote the advancement of healthy longevity for all people through scientific research of ageing biology, development of new therapies, their fast, effective and safe implementation, improvement of public health and research policy in the field of ageing control, and education.
A special emphasis, during 2024, was made by ILA on the longevity community building. A major mechanism of community building was by organizing and expanding the meetings of longevity researchers and advocates, from small meetups to large international conferences, which ILA co-organized. Such conferences included events organized by ILA and its members within the framework of the Longevity Month campaign of October, in over a dozen countries: the US, the UK, Israel, Spain, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Sweden, Nigeria. Many more events were organized by ILA members throughout the year, around the world.
Another mechanism of community building was through joining with, starting or enhancing the existing longevity-promoting organizations as parts of the ILA. In 2024, the ILA membership grew significantly. By the end of 2024, ILA included 68 federated members (68 non-profit associations and social enterprises), working in 58 countries https://longevityalliance.org/members/) and 65 Individual Members (for the most part leading longevity researchers and activists, representing leading longevity organizations)
This is a yearly increase of 16 federated members and 22 countries, from 52 federated members working in 36 countries at the end of 2023.
Following the ILA general assembly of January 25, 2025, representatives of the following 10 federated members will serve in the ILA board in 2025: Five members who were elected on January 25, for the next 2 years, include: Ilia Stambler – Vetek (Seniority) Association – the Movement for Longevity and Quality of Life (Israel), Edouard Debonneuil – Longevite & Sante (France), Daria Khaltourina – Council for Public Health and Problems of Demography (Russia), Georgios Mitrou – European Society of Preventive, Regenerative and Anti-Aging Medicine, ESAAM (Switzerland), Jose Cordeiro – Red Iberoamericana de Prospectiva, RIBER (Dominican Republic).

Five more members will remain in the board for another year until the next election, including Didier Coeurnelle – Healthy Life Extension Society, HEALES (Belgium, EU), Alexander Tietz – The Society for Healthy Aging and Prevention (Germany), Martin Lipovšek – Society for Vital Life Extension (Slovenia), Maria Entraigues – Lifespan Research Institute (US), Walter Crompton – American Longevity Alliance (US).

Among the new additions to the ILA federated membership, during 2024, of special note is the registration of International Longevity Alliance UK (ILA UK) as a charity in the UK, which is an ILA federated member.

The new organization was registered to improve the coordination, presentation, fund-raising and project management by and for the longevity community.
International Longevity Alliance UK (ILA UK, incorporated in the UK) is a separate legal entity, and is a federated member of International Longevity Alliance (ILA, incorporated in France). For now the website associated with ILA UK is
https://www.longevityforall.org/

We further worked to increase the visibility and interconnectedness of the ILA as a whole and its federated members. Thus, the new analytical platform of the ILA was launched in June 2024. The analytical platform contains information about ILA – its federated and individual members, the main milestones, achievements and activities of ILA as a whole. This platform is intended to improve the assessment and planning of the ILA members and increase the overall visibility of ILA as a whole and all its members individually, altogether serving to facilitate the longevity community building internationally, and enhancing the longevity advocacy presence internationally.
The platform:

The platform creation was accompanied by a significant media exposure of the ILA. Here is an example
As well as activity reporting by federated ILA members
The platform supplements the main official website of the International Longevity Alliance (ILA) https://longevityalliance.org/
Entries on all the ILA members are included in the platform: both the present representatives of ILA federated members (non-profit longevity-promoting organizations) and individual members (longevity researchers and activists).
The entries on the ILA federated members are intended to increase the visibility for ILA generally and for ILA federated members in particular. They emphasize the longevity organizations’ strengths, online presence, current activities, challenges to address, plans, and key figures. The entries on individual ILA members are intended to showcase and promote outstanding longevity activists, who are ILA members, and their achievements, and thus encourage and build up the longevity activist and advocacy community.

Many thanks to the team who built this platform – associated with the ILA federated members: Longevity International, Biogerontology Research Foundation (BGRF), Assistive Technology, Longevity and Ageing Society (ATLAS), and Vetek Association, with the main technical support of the Deep Knowledge Group.
Hopefully this new platform will serve all the members of the ILA and the entire international longevity research and advocacy community.
Furthermore, fundraising efforts were made by the ILA and its members.
These efforts will continue to be made by ILA, also via ILA UK and other ILA federated members, for the individual member organizations themselves, for other federated organizations, and for the ILA as whole. Solidarity and mutual aid among the allied organizations are the very DNA of the ILA. For example, in 2024, considerable funds (about $100K) were raised by Vetek Association, most of it supported longevity research and advocacy in Israel (such as the Longevity Nation conference https://longevitynation.org/ ) but some of it supported other longevity-promoting organizations in other countries, such as Longevity Alliance Baltic and its conference (https://longevitybaltics.org/). Much help to the international longevity community was given by the HEALES organization, in particular to the Longevity Escape Velocity Foundation – both are ILA federated members (https://www.levf.org/october-2024-matching-challenge) .
Hopefully, such mutual aid and synergy of the longevity community will continue. Hopefully, in 2025, ILA will continue to focus on community building, as well as diverse research and advocacy actions.
