London Ageing Research Network - Inaugural Symposium 2025

Join us for our inaugural symposium on Nov 11, 2025 at the Francis Crick Institute.

About this Event

The London Ageing Research Network is a network of researchers from universities across London, united by a shared focus on ageing research - spanning basic science to translation.

Join us for our inaugural London Ageing Research Network Symposium, a one-day event bringing together scientists and clinicians working at the cutting edge of ageing and health research.

This symposium is designed not only for those already working on ageing, but also for researchers focused on age-related diseases who are curious about how ageing biology can inform their work. Our goal is to spark new ideas, collaborations, and interest in ageing research across disciplines.

What to Expect

• Inspiring talks: Hear from leading speakers across biology, medicine, and technology.
• Interactive schedule: Flash talks, poster sessions, and a networking reception designed to spark new ideas.
• Your work on stage: submit an abstract for a chance to be selected for a short talk or poster presentation.
• Best poster prizes: Celebrate outstanding science with prizes for the most innovative posters.
• Collaborative funding challenge: Take part in our live competition where participants pitch ideas and compete for a pump-priming award to kickstart new collaborative projects.

This is your chance to connect with the local research community, showcase your work, and help shape the future of ageing research.
