Symposium highlights new mortality insights

In September, the IFoA Mortality Research Steering Committee welcomed world-class experts to the International Mortality and Longevity Symposium

Delegates had the opportunity to hear from eminent speakers in the fields of biogerontology, longevity, health and health data, and mortality forecasting. 

One delegate captured the aims of the symposium perfectly, saying: "A new language is emerging to explain the transition from expert knowledge to dependable assumptions for the future."
