Several such events corresponded with the International Longevity Month traditionally organized by ILA in October
For 2026, ILA already conducts over 10 international conference – in Davos, Switzerland; Kaunas and Vilnius, Lithuania; Ravda, Bulgaria, Bucharest, Romania; Madrid, Spain; Ljubljana, Slovenia; Frankfurt, Germany; Brussels, Belgium.; Tel Aviv, Israel; Dhaka, Bangladesh(the list is to be expanded)
In 2025, ILA federated membership grew to include 75 non-profit organizations and social enterprises, working (including branches) in 65 countries.
The collected monograph “Healthy Longevity Policies and Practices”
In 2025, the book “Healthy Longevity: Policies and Practices” was completed and sent for production in Springer Nature. It can be considered an “ILA book” as out of the 70 contributors of its 24 chapters, over a half are ILA members (individual and federated) or have a strong association with ILA. https://longevityalliance.org/new/healthy-longevity-policies-and-practices/
Many thanks to all the contributors for making it happen! The book is expected to be published in 2026. Yet, even the awareness of this forthcoming authoritative and comprehensive resource on longevity policy will give a good boost for longevity advocacy outreach and policy recommendations.
Reports of some of the ILA federated members are included below:
Vetek (Seniority) Association – the Movement for Longevity and Quality of Life (Israel)
2025 was a productive year for Vetek Association in our activities to promote research, development and education for healthy longevity.
In 2025, despite the difficult situation in Israel, there were established 3 (three) grant support programs for aging and longevity research in Israel and in cooperation with Israel, with open calls for research proposals on aging and longevity published: by the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology; the Ministry of Health; and the British Council in Israel. We are proud that these grant support programs and calls for research proposals were established in a large measure thanks to the promotional and educational efforts, also by Vetek Association that encouraged and helped formulate these support programs and calls for proposals. Altogether the support should be about 5 million USD (or about 15 million NIS) subject to budget availability. The exact figures of support will be known later on. Vetek association also advocated with several other ministries in Israel for the healthy longevity cause, as the subject is relevant for all.
In 2025, Vetek association was a leading partner in organizing 6 international conferences on healthy longevity: in Geneva, Switzerland; Riga, Latvia; Vilnius, Lithuania (in the Lithuanian Parliament – the Seimas); Porto, Portugal; Bucharest, Romania; and the flagship international conference of Vetek Association, the central longevity conference in Israel – Longevity Nation, in Bar-Ilan University.
https://www.longevityisrael.org/vetek-associaiton-an-organizer-of-international-conferences-in-2025/
All these conferences were accompanied by a considerable press coverage, promoting the healthy longevity cause.
https://www.longevityisrael.org/press/
More international conferences are planned for 2026, co-organized by Vetek association: in Davos, Switzerland; Kaunas and Vilnius, Lithuania; Frankfurt, Germany, and the next Longevity Nation conference in Israel, in Bar-Ilan University.
In addition, in 2025, Vetek association organized a series of meetups to build up the Israeli longevity community, as well as co-organized sessions in additional conferences in Israel (Sheba Longevity Conference, Biomed Israel) and together with the Knesset Lobby for the Geriatric and Nursing Care population organized a conference on research, development and education for healthy longevity in Knesset.
https://www.longevityisrael.org/vetek-associaiton-an-organizer-of-international-conferences-in-2025/
In addition, in 2025, scientific works appeared with Vetek Association’s affiliation, such as works on the politics of the longevity dividend, in the Biopolitics of Human Enhancement.
Also in 2025, the book “Healthy Longevity: Policies and Practices” was completed (to be published in 2026) under the editorship and including 5 chapters with Vetek Association’s affiliation.
While promoting longevity research, development and education in Israel, Vetek Association also has been an active participant in the international longevity community and advanced international cooperation. Thus, Vetek Association has been an active federated member organization of the International Longevity Alliance (ILA) that in 2025 grew to 75 member organizations working in 65 countries.
Vetek Association encouraged further international cooperation programs. This is work in progress.
https://www.longevityisrael.org/international-cooperation/
Hoping for a productive Year 2026 that will further advance healthy longevity for all.

Society for Healthy Ageing and Prevention (Heales Germany)
In 2024–2025, the Society for Healthy Ageing and Prevention (Heales Germany) continued to advance its mission to promote healthy longevity and prevention through research, education, policy engagement, and international cooperation. As a federated member of the International Longevity Alliance (ILA), Heales Germany focused on strengthening the link between scientific evidence, public health practice, and policy development in Germany and at the European level.
A central pillar of Heales Germany’s work has been advocacy for the recognition of healthy ageing and longevity as integral components of the right to health. Activities included policy-oriented analyses, expert contributions to public debates, and engagement with national and European stakeholders in health, prevention, and social policy. Particular emphasis was placed on prevention, equity in access to health-promoting interventions, and the responsible translation of longevity research into public health systems.
Heales Germany contributed to longevity community building by organizing and supporting educational events, expert meetings, and conference sessions in cooperation with academic institutions, civil society organizations, and international partners. Members of Heales Germany actively participated in major international longevity conferences and forums, ensuring that perspectives from Germany and Europe were represented in global discussions on healthy longevity, prevention, and ageing policy.
In parallel, Heales Germany supported early-stage and interdisciplinary longevity research and initiatives, including conceptual work on seed funding mechanisms, collaboration models between academia and civil society, and capacity building for young researchers and advocates working at the intersection of ageing biology, prevention, and policy.
A further focus was placed on strengthening international cooperation within the ILA network, contributing to joint initiatives, exchanges of best practices, and coordinated advocacy efforts. Through close collaboration with other ILA federated members, Heales Germany supported the development of shared positions on evidence-based longevity medicine, good practices, and the countering of misinformation in the field.
Looking ahead, Heales Germany aims to further expand its role as a bridge between science, policy, and society, contributing to ILA’s strategic objectives by supporting national and regional longevity movements, promoting rigorous and ethical approaches to longevity medicine and prevention, and advancing the international recognition of healthy longevity as a public policy priority.

Longévité & Santé, France
As longevity has become mainstream and conferences are extraordinarily popping up everywhere already, Longévité & Santé continued its 2014 focus on the complementary general scientifico-technical approaches that may boost longevity
- Collida (Collective Collection of Lifespan Data). As a reminder in 2014, the result of the initial great manual effort by volunteers became pale as LLMs started to pop up everywhere. Also, we discovered that LEVF was performing a similar project, RAID (with results publicly available in early 2026). We therefore gathered the manually collected data and scripts, and decided to wait for 2026 once RAID results occur and perhaps also depending on how AI has advanced to re-examine the interest of the project.
- Automated Daphnia Lifespan tests. Here, advancing strongly seemed appropriate, not in competition, especially when we heard that the funds of the main daphnia lab in Harvard had been cut (like many research funds in the US; not specific). So the path to automation advance 2 hours per week in a small group thanks to a local association, CAEL. We were able to have a raspberry-pi robot move along a wall and take images of aquariums (provided by the Harvard lab) and to pipet solutions into aquariums, though at this stage with manual guidance (nothing automated yet). A journalist made a journalistic article:
In 2026 the goal will be to build aquariums ourselves to be able to have many cohorts, to develop the computer vision to position the robot adequately and observe the daphnies adequately; then to fine tune everything before longevity experiments: there is still a long way to go.
A few general gatherings happened, the association Longévité&Santé was notably represented in Salon de l’Hypersanté in Lyon and Longevity Hacks Paris (hackathon organised by London Longevity Networks), but the focus in 2025 was more on the above.

Healthy Longevity: Policies and Practices
2025-04-18 09:46:36
Several members of International Longevity Alliance (ILA) have written chapters for the forthcoming volume on “Healthy Longevity: Policies and Practices” that will be published in the Springer Nature book series “Healthy Ageing and Longevity” (the volume is edited Dr. Ilia Stambler)
The official book site: https://link.springer.com/book/9783032200051
The book series site: https://www.springer.com/series/13277
The book was completed in 2025, and will be published in 2026.
Generally, the book will relate to the analysis and development of policies for the advancement of healthy longevity research, development, education and implementation. It is expected to make a good contribution for the longevity cause, as it would help clarify (to the general public as well as to the longevity advocates) what it is exactly that the longevity movement advocates for. It will help develop longevity policy and advocacy research, help bring the subject of “Healthy Longevity: Policies and Practices” into university libraries and classroom discussions, as well as create an authoritative reference source for longevity research advocacy and policy to address decision makers and general public.
Here is the book description. Looking forward to this publication!
This multi-chapter review book will elaborate on the current practices and policies in research, development, dissemination and application of therapies intended to ameliorate degenerative aging processes and extend healthy and productive longevity. The main subjects relate to the connection of longevity science, technology and society, including R&D and educational policies and governance, regulation, accessibility of emerging therapies, biological and medical ethics, public perception, support and involvement in the longevity field. The book will examine the current practical implementation of the policies for longevity therapy research, development and application, including the bottlenecks of implementation and their mitigation, as well as incentives for the beneficial development of the longevity field. The book will examine a wide variety of methodological and policy issues involved in research, development and application of therapies intended to ameliorate aging processes and extend healthy longevity. These include clarification of basic terms and definitions in relation to anti-aging and longevity therapies. It will examine definitions and evaluation criteria of clinical benefits of such therapies, including biological, functional and clinical endpoints and study design. It will consider the existing and desirable regulatory frameworks for developing longevity therapies. The book will examine methodological issues of geroscience research, and their possible solutions and mitigations, including minimization of confounding factors of geroscience research, relevance of research to human subjects, in particular older persons, long-term and integrated multidisciplinary studies. The book will consider qualification and quantification criteria of longevity studies, maximizing the informative, predictive and integrative value of longevity studies, including questions of data quality, openness and sharing. Finally, the book will examine the practical benefits of longevity studies and emerging longevity therapies for human subjects, including questions of safety and efficacy, standardization, avoiding selection and other biases, cost-effectiveness, affordability, and universal distribution. This volume, written by world leading experts working in the diverse aspects of the longevity field, will contribute to analyzing methodological and policy challenges and devising biomedical and societal solutions to improve healthy longevity for the population.

ILA yearly report 2024
2025-01-26 09:20:49
In 2024, the ILA continued on its mission to promote 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 were elected on January 25, for the next 2 years, including 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, Cyprus), Jose Cordeiro – Red Iberoamericana de Prospectiva, RIBER (Dominican Republic, Spain).
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.
https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/5234767
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/
See details about ILA UK: https://longevityalliance.org/new/33-organizations-confirmed-as-founding-federated-members-of-ila-uk/
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:
https://www.longevity.international/ila
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.
https://www.longevity.international/ila
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.
