Our Mission
longer, healthier lives
The Longevity Forum is a not-for-profit initiative committed to achieving longer, healthier and more fulfilled lives for as many people as possible. We believe that, if managed correctly, increased longevity presents a wonderful human opportunity.
our approach
Unlocking the longevity dividend will require multi-disciplinary collaboration and a radical rethink of how we approach all of life and not just the end of life.
Behind Rome's Eyes
Stretching from the banks of the Tiber to the very ends of Europe, Rome's seminal impact on the course of history continues through to the modern day. Pioneering advances across the spectrum of both technology and culture, Rome established the blueprint for modern Western civilization. Father Michael Collins will take us on a journey to understand this mighty empires relationship with longevity through its rise and fall.

The lost cookbook of pompeii
The most unique architectural site in the world, Ancient Pompeii was preserved in ash after a sudden eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Few survived the blast as we can see in every small detail of the city that is trapped in time. Join Father Michael Collins as he investigates the day to day life in Pompeii from health to cooking.

What makes us different
WE FOCUS ON EARLY CHANGE
To benefit from increased longevity, we advocate change from an early state stage of life. Our focus on the whole of lifespan is complementary to many valuable existing initiatives which focus on ageing and end of life.
WE ENGAGE
We engage all stakeholders with the power to influence change – key opinion leaders from the worlds of policy, business, science, academia and civil society – and provide them with a platform for debate and action.
WE COLLABORATE
Unlocking the longevity dividend will require multi-disciplinary collaboration and a radical rethink of how we approach all of life and not just the end of life.
Why Now?
A step change in life expectancy, which is already underway and is being driven by both scientific and technological progress, will have vast implications for individuals, governments and society as a whole. To ensure that increases in longevity benefit all of society, a true public and private partnership is required to drive change and create solutions needed to equip us for this new reality.
We actively engage with public and private sector stakeholders. Please contact us to discuss how your organisation can get involved with the Forum.
