Our vision

We want to significantly improve our quality of life and therefore our society by prolonging the healthy and active part of our lives.

‍

Mission

We're an interdisciplinary platform of people and organizations with the common goal of informing, coordinating, and supporting activities leading towards the fulfillment of our vision.


Achieving our vision

The quality of our life continually degrades with age and aging-related diseases, and so does our productive involvement in society. Delaying the onset of aging-related diseases by just a few years would mean an enormous increase in quality of life for many people and also economic savings in the ranges of hundreds of billions Czech crowns. Especially due to the decrease in late-life healthcare spending, social security, but also by empowering older people to be active and longer productive. Our goal is to help Czechs get on average 5 more quality years in productive health by 2030.

‍

Who are we involving

Longevity topic is extremely complex and is at the same time facing many myths, misconceptions, prejudices and socio-cultural influences. That's why we are involving a wide range of experts to form an interdisciplinary group that is covering the whole spectrum of possible argumentation and discussion.

We're also coordinating and supporting other organizations, that are contributing to achieve our vision.
