The University of Tokyo Graduate School of Frontier Sciences will hold a public symposium “Aging control design in the era of 2023-year life” online on March 3, 15 (Wednesday). This will be the 100th in a series of open symposiums that have been running since 2022.
Since its founding in 1998, the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences has pursued the themes of "disciplinary fusion" and "intellectual adventure."In the public symposium series, we will look back on our achievements and achievements so far, aim to shift to the next stage as a graduate school, and explore the next generation of academic fields such as "mobility", "deep space exploration" and "sustainability". The theme of the conference is "Material Creation", "Genome Science", etc., which are deeply related to recent social concerns.
The Graduate School of Frontier Sciences has collaborated with the Human Augmentation Research Center of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology to utilize digital healthcare technology to delay aging and extend healthy life expectancy. We are promoting technology development, research and education to make it possible.
In anticipation of an era of 100-year lifespans, it is necessary to create a well-balanced social system in which both the young and the elderly can live long, healthy and happy lives without a heavy burden.It is known that aging, which is a deterioration of the mind and body, can be controlled to some extent by improving lifestyle habits.In order to successfully incorporate aging control systems into society, it is necessary to elucidate and understand the principles of aging through aging life sciences, and at the same time, re-discuss the meaning of human longevity from the perspective of evolutionary biology. .
The public symposium consisted of three parts: ``What we learned from conducting aging control design exercises'', ``Importance of digital health in aging control design'', and ``How to create aging control design in the era of 100-year lifespan''. Held lectures and panel discussions.We will reconsider the direction of aging control design from both economic theory and ethics, and explore ways to solve problems in an aging society with a declining birthrate.
The symposium will start at 3:15 and end at 13:18 on March XNUMX (Wednesday).It will be streamed online and can be viewed for free with pre-registration.Applicants must apply using a special form.
