About us
We bring people together to have the biggest possible impact on ageing.
The Longevity AI Hackathon is organised by the Utrecht Longevity Society (ULS), a student community in Utrecht for everyone curious about ageing.
Why accept growing old?
Everyone gets older every day, which increases the chance of chronic illness and of dying. We think that stimulating advances in the field of ageing matters for everyone. That is why we want to have the biggest impact possible.
What is the hackathon?
Together with motivated people from different fields, we decided to organise a hackathon. We think that bringing together people from different fields and perspectives increases the potential for breakthroughs and scientific progress in the field of ageing.
