Values and goals

Our values and goals

1. scientific excellence and interdisciplinarity

The scientific study of longevity is an interdisciplinary endeavor that requires knowledge from various disciplines such as biogerontology, genetics, biotechnology, neuroscience, nanotechnology, robotics and artificial intelligence. Our goal is to bring these disciplines together to create a comprehensive understanding of the biological and technological processes that influence ageing.

2. knowledge-based empowerment for all

Our work aims to communicate scientific knowledge about longevity and life extension in a way that is understandable and accessible to all. This empowerment should enable individuals as well as companies and institutions to make informed decisions and shape their strategies with regard to the new technological possibilities.

3. social dialog and ethical responsibility

Technological progress in longevity research raises profound ethical and social questions. How will our society change if human life is significantly extended? What are the ethical consequences if life extension technologies are not equally accessible to all people? Our aim is to actively promote this dialog and ensure that technological developments are in line with the principles of social justice and ethical responsibility.

4. linking science and society

The Society for Longevity Science e.V. - Mission: STAYING ALIVE acts as an interface between the scientific community and the general public. We create a bridge between the latest scientific findings and their social, economic and ethical implications to provide a holistic approach to the future of longevity.

5. safety and accessibility

Technological developments that slow down ageing or prolong life must not only be accessible to a privileged minority. We are committed to ensuring that access to these technologies is distributed fairly and that social inequality is not further exacerbated. We focus on the safety and ethical use of these new possibilities.
