The International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU)

Aging, Longevity and Health

The IARU Aging, Longevity & Health initiative is one of the earliest joint research initiatives formed by the Alliance in 2006, led by the University of Copenhagen with the Center for Healthy Aging (CEHA) as a key actor.

The group examines this 21st century issue with a multidisciplinary approach. The initiative encompasses biological, psycho-social, cultural and public health policy issues arising from changing human population age demographics and the global human longevity transition.

ALH Research Focus

The Aging Longevity and Health research focus areas are:

  • Biology of Aging
  • Cohorts, Cognition and the Brain
  • Changing Demographic, Economic, Social and Physical Environments and Healthy Aging
  • Technology and Aging

ALH Activities

The activities arranged by the ALH network include: Scientific conferences, symposia, networking meetings and graduate student conferences.
