I represent the European Longevity Initiative, an advocacy group with members from 13+ EU countries, scientists, entrepreneurs, professionals from relevant categories.
We would like to propose effective legal, budgetary, regulatory and institutional commitments to enable science intensive healthy longevity research and technologies, large scale aging focused geroprotective clinical trials and equitable access to these technologies to increase healthy life expectancy in the European Union.
1. legal commitment: acknowledge the malleability of biological aging & the translational geroscience paradigm as the ultimate enabler of age-neutral human health in the EU’s legislative DNA. This specific EU legislation then can be used to justify the other 3 derivative commitments throughout.
2. budgetary commitment: A sizeable proportion of the EU R&D budget dedicated specifically for developing science intensive healthy longevity technologies.
3. regulatory commitment: Green light for Europe-wide aging focused geroprotective clinical trials by specific, enabling EMA regulation.
4. institutional commitment: setting up a coordinated European Institute for Healthy Longevity research in EU member states, backed by the previous 3 commitments.

On April 15, 2021 I have published an Opinion Piece and Detailed Commentary on the EU Green Paper on Ageing available at the website Longevity.Technology.

Konferenca o prihodnosti Evrope je odličen format za demokratično udeležbo državljank in državljanov v tvorjenje skupne vizije in usmeritve EU. V tem dogodku se bomo osredotočali na zdravje, posebej na vprašanje, kako lahko EU pomaga zagotavljati zdravo dolgoživost svojih državljank in državljanov. Posebej bomo preučili predlog "Znanstveno intenzivne tehnologije zdrave dolgoživosti: razvoj in dostop", ki je na spletni strani Konference o prihodnosti Evrope. Zainteresirani ste lepo vabljene in vabljeni za udeležbo. Dogodek bo hibriden - na Zoomu in v živo do zapolnitve konferenčne sobe na Univerzi v Ljubljani. Dogodek organizira Društvo za vitalno podaljševanje življenja Slovenije in Modra Fakulteta, ki spada pod okrilje Univerze v Ljubljani.
