Aging - where will we be in 2030?
2030 is a mere 8 years away, and it seems we are not prepared for what the short- and long-term future holds. We will hear from experts in the field about what’s in store for us, the situation today, and how we should prepare for the future. Trainees supported by the Healthy Longevity Research Center will share their research projects with us.
