OUR MISSION

The PRIMA Longevity Policy Institute is a non-profit independent organisation that transforms scientific insights into meaningful contributions for political and societal decision-making. We work at the intersection of science, public health and regulation, focusing on strengthening prevention, improving health equity, and ensuring the responsible governance of innovation.

Why the institute is needed

Germany and Europe are undergoing profound demographic change. Chronic conditions — many of them preventable — impose a growing burden on individuals and public systems. At the same time, scientific and technological developments are accelerating, creating opportunities that require political orientation and ethical assessment.The PRIMA Longevity Policy Institute provides clarity by connecting research, health policy challenges and societal perspectives. Our aim is to build structures that support health at every stage of life.
