DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Salvatore Angilletta (Max-Planck Institut for Biolog
 y of Ageing)\, Orsolya Symmons (European Innovation Council and SMEs Execu
 tive Agency (EISMEA))\, Bjoern Schumacher (CECAD\, Univ Cologne)\n\nEIC Pa
 thfinder Challenge 2026 call - Biotechnology for Healthy Ageing\nThis even
 t will present an EIC Pathfinder “Biotechnology for Healthy Aging” fun
 ding call with a deadline 28th Oct 2026. This call will select a group of 
 projects developing innovative technology solutions for healthy ageing\, f
 ocusing on the areas of interventions\, biomarkers and new approach method
 ologies. The selected projects will also work together to tackle shared ch
 allenges and opportunities in the field\, such as addressing regulatory pa
 thways\, or raising public awareness about healthy longevity. Projects sha
 ll achieve the proof of principle and validate the scientific basis of bre
 akthrough technologies (starting from early TRLs aiming at achieving TRL3 
 or 4).\nA presentation is followed by a Q&A session.\nThe speaker is Mrs O
 rsolya Symmons\, PhD who is the responsible Programme Manager for this cal
 l and who will provide valuable insights about the EIC programme and the c
 all to the research community.\nThis event is hosted by the European Feder
 ation for Aging Research - EFAR.\nPlease join the EFAR community following
