Sep 24, 2025 Conferences Meetings

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.

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.

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 allocated ample time for non-PIs to present their data and included sessions on special topics led by senior scientists, such as career development and women in science.

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 even
