The world population is continuing to get older. Aging is the greatest risk factor for the majority of chronic diseases, and chronic diseases account for most of the morbidity and health care expenditures in developed nations. Now more than ever, research and the exchange of ideas are needed to deepen our knowledge of aging.
This is why we formed an alliance.
The Alliance
The Alliance for Healthy Aging was co-founded in 2009 by the Mayo Clinic Robert and Arlene Kogod Center on Aging (USA) and several research institutions from the Netherlands, including the University Medical Center Groningen, the University of Groningen, the Noaber Foundation (Lunteren) and Vita Valley (Ede).
In 2015, Newcastle University Institute for Ageing in the United Kingdom joined the Alliance for Healthy Aging. Then in 2019, the University of Minnesota-Institute on the Biology of Aging and Metabolism, Minneapolis, USA, and the University of Copenhagen-Center for Healthy Aging in Denmark joined the network as well.
14th Alliance for Healthy Aging Conference
March 21-23, 2025

Annual Conferences
Each year, a conference is organized for scientists, clinicians, engineers, and students to exchange research results and ideas on translational research on aging. These meetings foster research collaborations, act as a springboard for new research grants and directions, and accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries to clinical practice by bringing together an expert and interdisciplinary panel with unique clinical, scientific, and commercial perspectives.
