Why do we age? How long can we live? How does lifestyle interact
with the ageing process? These are just a few of the questions to
be addressed in a unique meeting arena featuring Nobel Laureates,
experts and other curious minds during the Nobel Prize Dialogue in
Tokyo on Mar. 17, 2019.
Ageing populations is a highly topical theme, especially in a
Japanese context as the country is experiencing an extreme
demographic shift. Nobel Media is arranging the event in
collaboration with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science
(JSPS) with the support of 3M and other Nobel International
Partners.
“3M is committed to advancing scientific research and education
to improve lives around the world,” said Kourosh Motalebi, 3M
International Operations, leading 3M–Nobel Strategic Relationship.
“Our support as one of a select group of Nobel International
Partners will help to inspire students and experts in Japan about
‘The Age to Come’.”
The day is intended to bring new insights on the science of
ageing, how to address financial and societal challenges tied to
changing population structures and how technology can help
alleviate the burdens of old age. Key opinion leaders, policy
makers, students, researchers and the general public will gather at
the Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center, along with five Nobel
Laureates, including Tasuku Honjo, the Japanese Medicine Laureate
from 2018, to talk about why and how we age.
During the day, the audience will listen to a discussion around
the question of why we age with Professor Emeritus from Newcastle
University Tom Kirkwood and two Nobel Laureates Elizabeth H.
Blackburn and Tim Hunt. In the afternoon, Hunt will engage in a
conversation around innovation, technology and policy for an ageing
society policy together with Sarah Harper, Professor of
Gerontology, University of Oxford, Yoshiyuki Sankai, President and
CEO, CYBERDYNE Inc, and other experts.
3M and Nobel Media have collaborated since 2016 to hold
international, inspirational events that have brought Nobel
Laureates to Dubai, India, Tokyo, Singapore, Korea and Chile. Their
work together will continue over several years to bring light to
important global issues.
