2009 Annual meeting of LINK-AGE and Topic Research Group Meetings third edition - Brussels - 29 November- 01 December 2009 The last annual meeting and topic research groups meetings of Link-Age will be joint in 2009.
The
location is Brussels, right in the center of the city in the Radisson
SAS Royal Hotel, very close to the Saint-Hubert Gallery and the Grand
Place.
The meeting will start by 14h on Sunday November 29 and finish after lunch on Tuesday Dec 01 2009.

abstract can be already send to Béatrice Rayet. There will be oral presentations and posters sessions.
The meeting is free of charges for the accepted participants.
Tentative program available here. Theme sessions are Session 1 – Cellular ageing – Mitochondria – Model systems Session 2 – Biomarkers of ageing – A special MARK-AGE session Session 3 – Genetics and Bioinformatic Session 4 – Age-related diseases – Muscle ageing Session 5 – Immunosenescence Session 6 – Tissues and organs ageing
6th European Congress of Biogerontology, 3rd annual meeting of Link-Age and 2nd Topic Research Groups meetings In 2008, we had the great opportunity to organise the 2008 Link-Age
annual meeting jointly with the 6th European Congress of
Biogerontology (http://www.biogerontology2008.org).
This Congress was held in Noordwijkerhout, Netherlands, from November 30 to December 3rd 2008.°
LINK-AGE offered around 20 fellowships to students and post-doc
covering the Congress fees (750 €). These fees included: 3 hotel nights
in NH Conference center, welcome reception, coffee break, 3 lunch
breaks, 3 dinners, admission to all scientific sessions, all congress
materials and administration costs). ° With
the aim to give associate and full members the opportunity to meet and
communicate, we also organised the Topic Research Groups meetings A
and B as well as the Topic Research Group on interspecies comparison at the same location. The Research Topic Group A/ Interspecies comparison was held just before the Congress, from 29/11 14h to 30/11 17h The Research Topic Group B was held right after the Congress, from 03/12 14h to 04/12 13h These
two meetings were also opened to a few numbers of non-members of LINK-AGE
working in Europe.
