Objetivo
The overall aim of this project is to provide a forum for scientific exchange and, in addition, for attempts to influence the European Research on Ageing. Particular emphasis of the conference will be on a synopsis of current achievements in ageing research with particular reference to genomic and post-genomic technologies. We will prepare a conference program that reflects the most advanced parts of European Ageing Research and provide a forum for discussions concerning future directions of this research. From the technological point of view, a particular emphasis will be put on the aspect of translational research. The planned scientific conference is to be held in close conjunction with the "Genetics, Longevity and Demography Scientific Workshop" of the ERA AGE Network that will be held in Innsbruck at the same time during the year 2006, probably by the end of September 2006. The latter one is coordinated by Prof. Beatrix Grubeck-Loebenstein, who serves as a director of the applicant's institution. We anticipate a significant impact for the conference from this constellation and expect that this activity will contribute substantially towards an integrated structure for European Ageing Research, taking into account both stakeholders' interests and commercial applications.
