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. With the help of a grant by the Josef und Luise-Kraft Foundation in Germany, ILC is kicking off a project on Integrating human rights into health and social care in Israel with an international meeting focusing on Age-friendly Cities and Communities (AFCC) in Israel following the WHO framework of AFCC. The meeting will take place on 11-12 February 2025 with the participation of WHO and other members of the ILC GA. We will welcome you all.
