Science & Society

Words such as "challenges" or "difficulties" are often linked to the phenomenon of our aging society. But why does the lifespan contiually increase? What does this mean for society and economics? What opportunities does the demographic change offer?

With the public lecture series "Science & Society", the Leibniz Institute on Aging (FLI) and the Leibniz Research Alliance Healthy Ageing together with the Beutenberg-Campus e.V. want to add a social perspective to the aging research in Jena.

The lecture is part of the Leibniz theme year "die beste der möglichen Welten", celebrating the 370th birth day and 300th date of death of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (www.bestewelten.de).
