We're the UK’s leading authority on the impact of longevity on society

The International Longevity Centre

ILC is the UK’s leading authority on the impact of longevity on society. We combine evidence, solutions and networks to make change happen.

We help governments, policymakers, businesses and employers develop and implement solutions to ensure we all live happier, healthier and more fulfilling longer lives.

We want a society where we all live happier, healthier and more fulfilling longer lives, where tomorrow is better than today and where future generations are better off. ILC wants to help forge a new vision for the 100-year life where we all have the opportunity to learn across our lives and where new technology helps us contribute more to society.

Our history

The International Longevity Centre UK was established in 1997 as one of the members of the International Longevity Centre Global Alliance, an international network on longevity.

Since our inception, we have published over 400 reports, organised well over 500 events in 20 countries, including the annual Future of Ageing conference.

We work with central government, local government, the private sector, and professional and academic associations to provoke conversations and pioneer solutions for a society where everyone can thrive, regardless of age.

We are a small team of fifteen, headed by David Sinclair as Chief Executive.
