Humanity has always sought to uncover the secret of longevity. Scientists have long puzzled over how to extend life while preserving its quality. Today, scientific and technological progress makes it possible to push the boundaries of longevity further. This, in turn, brings changes to internal policies of nations, alters human relationships, and increases the anthropogenic impact on the planet. Experts will discuss what constitutes happy longevity and how it will affect the lives of future generations.

Questions for discussion

  • The secret of longevity: genetics or lifestyle?
  • What medical technologies will help extend life expectancy? Accessibility of high-quality medical care.
  • Organ printing: how will the development of bioprinting influence life extension?
  • Can money “buy” longevity?
  • How will human thinking evolve in a “society of longevity”?
  • What challenges await the “society of longevity” in the future?
