UZH Healthy Longevity Innovation Days

Healthy Longevity Innovation spans wider than the scope of the new HLC. To gather the stakeholders for healthy longevity innovation across disciplines on a regional, national and international level, the Cluster for Healthy Longevity organizes the Healthy Longevity Innovation Days.

In 2022, the 2nd UZH Healthy Longevity Innovation Days were organized on the theme of “Global Perspectives on Healthy Longevity Innovation” as a two-day online event. The first day focused on “Learning from Each Other” with the aim to provide an overview of global perspectives on healthy longevity innovation and a particular emphasis on what works and what is needed in different contexts. The second day, "From Research to Innovation" offered a series of presentations from international experts on how the transition from healthy longevity research to innovation can be structurally promoted, supported, and funded by academia, non-profit organizations, and the private sector alike. Next to speakers from academia, the event also had speakers from foundations, such as the Associate Director of the Velux Stiftung, and industry, such as the Head of Data Sciences and Precision Nutrition at Nestlé Research and the VP Audiology and Health Innovation at Sonova AG. In total the event attracted over 120 participants.
