Despite challenging times in a long and terrible war for all involved on both sides of our borders, ILC-Israel is still active and planning a busy year of activities.
Silvia Perel-Levin, who has for ten years represented ILC Global Alliance at the UN in Geneva, has been appointed president of ILC-Israel. Prof. A. Mark Clarfield who has diligently led ILC Israel during the last few years, will continue his engagement as vice-president.
The Center for Multidisciplinary Research in Ageing (CMRA) in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Beer-Sheva, where ILC Israel is housed, also has a new elected chairperson, Prof. Vadim Fraifeld, taking over from Prof. Itshak Melzer.
CMRA and ILC Israel continue their interdisciplinary research and other activities.
