The Scientific Senate of The Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania has become a member of the International Longevity Alliance (ILA), the largest global network dedicated to promoting healthy longevity. The International Longevity Alliance (ILA) is a global non-profit organisation that facilitates scientific research with the objective of extending healthy lifespan. It also coordinates reference projects in the field of longevity medicine, operating in 37 countries and supporting research in more than 70 non-profit organisations worldwide. The establishment of this affiliation signifies Romania's integration into the global discourse on combating ageing, thereby establishing a direct collaborative channel with the most advanced research centres worldwide.<\/p>\n
Established in Paris in 2014, ILA functions as a global platform for scientific exchange, public education and advocacy. Its notable initiatives encompass the Major Mouse Testing Program, a programme of considerable breadth in the field of geroprotectant testing in animal models; the DENIGMA project, a digital compendium of the processes of ageing; and Longevity Month, an international campaign promoting anti-ageing research through events held annually in numerous countries.<\/p>\n
The Scientific Senate of the Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania, which has been active for over a decade in support of scientific research in the field of longevity and emerging technologies, has joined the International Longevity Alliance as a centre of excellence in longevity medicine. On 27-28 May, during the Longevity Expo Forum Fest 2025, the Scientific Senate will present the findings of one of the research projects under discussion. This project concerns the development of a functional Romanian bread, the properties of which have been scientifically validated and which has the potential to reduce the effects of ageing. Furthermore, the public has access to the latest targeted medical technologies, innovative solutions based on molecular hydrogen with documented effects in combating oxidative stress, as well as scientific presentations on the latest research in the field of longevity.<\/p>\n
Also in the field of applied research, The Scientific Senate carried out \"Longevity Map of Romania\", a unique interdisciplinary research project, which identified the localities with the highest incidence of long-lived people in the country and examined the biological, social and environmental factors influencing active life span.<\/p>\n
Joining the ILA reinforces The Scientific Senate's strategic direction, focused on integrating research and innovative technologies in a coherent approach to promote healthy longevity. This partnership facilitates the connection of Romanian experts to international reference initiatives and allows the transfer of best practices validated in other countries, with direct applicability in Romania.<\/p>\n
As an ILA member, The Scientific Senate experts will participate in working groups dedicated to the development of preventive health policies and will facilitate access for Romanian researchers to grant programs and multicenter collaborations. The Scientific Senate will also integrate the results of ILA's global projects into its local initiatives to popularize longevity studies and promote active and healthy ageing.<\/p>\n
