The 7th GSFS Symposium Series "Aging Control Design for the 100-Year Life"

Release:Feb 22, 2023 Update:May 8, 2023
  • Event

The 7th GSFS symposium, "Aging Control Design for the 100-Year Life," will be held on Wednesday, March 15. The GSFS develops technology, pursues research, and provides education on slowing down aging and extending healthy life using digital healthcare technologies in association with the Human Augmentation Research Center, AIST.

SCOPE

With the possibility of a 100-year life, a well-balanced social system is needed for both the young and the old to live healthily and happily without a heavy burden. It is becoming clearer that mental and physical decline due to aging can be controlled by improving the lifestyle to some extent. To appropriately incorporate the aging control system into society, technologies must match society's needs, and innovation should be fostered by designing the whole picture. Therefore, we must clarify and understand the aging mechanisms and discuss the meaning of human longevity from the evolutionary biology point of view. This symposium will again raise the question of what the aging control design should be in terms of economic theory and ethics and seek ways to solve issues in the low birthrate and aging society.

 

The GSFS Year-Round Symposium Series

This symposium is the seventh symposium of the GSFS Year-Round Symposium Series 2022. The GSFS has been pursuing "transdisciplinary approaches" and "adventure of knowledge" since the school's establishment in 1998. We will hold symposiums to reflect on the outcomes and achievements of the school and proceed to the next stage, taking up topics closely related to recent public concerns to cultivate the next generation academic fields such as "life of 100 years", "EVs," "deep space exploration," "sustainable society," "novel materials fabrication," and "genomics."

Please note that all the contents will be delivered in Japanese.
