Technical Notebooks 14 - Provocations and Purposes in Longevity: A Path of Intentions to Fulfill

The XIV volume of the SCML Technical Notebooks collection reflects on Provocations and Purposes in Longevity: A Path of Intentions to Fulfill.

Over the past few years, we have witnessed a progressive increase in longevity, a result of the civilizational achievements made, among which the advances in science and medicine stand out, accompanied by improvements in basic living conditions.

This Technical Notebook is a significant step in this direction, as it results from a multidisciplinary and collaborative effort, of research and reflection, which will certainly be essential for us to design and implement intervention solutions that better respond to the pressing needs in this area and pave the way for new public policies.
