2025 Groningen – Jena Aging Meeting (G-JAM)

The Groningen-Jena Aging Meeting (G-JAM) is a prestigious biennial conference series dedicated to advancing research on all aspects of aging. The next meeting will be held from September 24-26, 2025, in the historic Great Hall of the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany.

The Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI), Jena, Germany, and the European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing (ERIBA), Groningen, The Netherlands, have teamed up to organize this meeting on aging. Join us from September 24 - 26, 2025 for a scientific meeting in Jena.

Aging is the single most significant risk factor for organ dysfunction and age-related diseases, but also represents an unresolved biological mystery. G-JAM 2025 aims to foster collaboration on aging research among leading researchers in different fields, and we are proud to host a stellar lineup of internationally renowned speakers from top institutions worldwide.

We believe this meeting provides an excellent opportunity for meaningful and intensive interactions, which are particularly valuable for young scientists. To support this, we have reduced the number of invited speakers and will select up to 20 short talks from submitted abstracts in order to offer a large number of non-PIs the visibility ensured by a presentation at G-JAM.

At the end of the meeting we will hold a roundtable and the translation of results from Biology of Aging to human health. The session will be moderated by Matt Kaeberlein, will include physicians and different stakeholders and will be followed by a press conference where journalists will have the opportunity to interact with the different stakeholders and scientists.

We are excited about G-JAM 2025 and confident it will stand out as one of the leading conferences in aging research. We warmly welcome you to join us in September 2025 for this impactful and inspiring event.
