On 27-28 Nov. 2025, we had the 10th NO-Age/NO-AD Meeting – The 3rd Norway-UK Meeting on Ageing and Dementia – A Focus on Autophagy. A total of nearly 30 speakers and 200 attendants (on-site + on line) attended this event, and we have received effusive and very positive feedbacks on this event. Below, it is a visual media-based summary of our meeting (our programme).
27-28 November 2025 On-line (Zoom) and in-person, with free registration. –> In-Person Registration Link –> Zoom only registration * If you plan to use both in-person and Zoom, please register using both links. Location: Domus Medica, Auditorium L-200 Address: Sognsvannsveien 9, 0372 Oslo, Norway
Organizers: Evandro F. Fang-Stavem (Oslo, Norway) Lynne Cox (Oxford, UK) Richard Siow (KCL, UK)
Co-organizers: Hong Kong Longevity Science Laboratory (Hong Kong) Linda Bergersen, Jon Storm-Mathisen, Hilde Nilsen (UiO, Norway) Per Nilsson (KI, Sweden) Asgeir Kobro-Flatmoen (NTNU, Norway)
The ageing population is growing rapidly across the Nordic countries and beyond, leading to increased healthcare and socioeconomic challenges. Ageing is the primary risk factor for many diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying brain ageing and neurodegeneration remains limited. Norway and the UK have a long-standing tradition in scientific collaborartions, especially in the neuroscience area. To address this critical knowledge gap, the Norway-UK Meetings on Ageing and Dementia will provide a dedicated space for researchers to discuss cutting-edge advancements in ageing and dementia, fostering collaboration across disciplines.
Held in Norway and the UK, the meeting series will bring together leaders in the fields to explore key topics, including molecular mechanisms of ageing, multi-omics approaches, artificial intelligence applications, neurodegeneration, and translational drug development. Speakers are leaders in these fields around the world! The meeting series will also strongly support young researchers by reserving space for short talks and a poster session, ensuring the next generation of scientists to play active roles in advancing the field. By facilitating interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations, we aim to drive innovation towards a future of healthy ageing and improved treatments for age-related diseases.
This 3rd Norway-UK meeting on ageing and dementia will be focused on autophagy, in addition to cover other related topics. We thank our platinum sponsor Hong Kong Longevity Science Laboratory.

The 1st Hong Kong-Nordic Research Network zoom meeting, held on 16-17 June 2021, was a success. There were over 20 talks and 200 plus participants, with intensive discussions and network building. We thank Profs. W.Y. Chan, Andrew Chan, Stephen K.W. TSUI, and all the organizational committee for their big efforts. A summary email by Prof. Andrew M. Chan, Director of the School of Biomedical Sciences, CUHK, is shown below. We look forward to continue this meeting annually.
Dear all,
The SBS Virtual Research Day 2021 cum Nordic Symposium was successfully held on June 16-17, 2021. It would not be so smooth without your excellent support, and your presence has undoubtedly helped to make it a memorable occasion. I believe all the participants have enjoyed and inspired by this one-and-a-half-day event and will forge a closer, sustained and long-term partnership.
Taking this opportunity, I would like to thank members of the organizing committee, and all the staff and students who have contributed to this event. Your dedication is highly appreciated.

This event is organized by the Norwegian National anti-Alzheimer’s disease network (NO-AD), and we are pleased to invite you to attend our very first annual meeting (changed to zoom due to the COVID-19). Our NO-AD national members, Advisory Board members, and User Representatives have been invited to attend this one-day event via zoom. In addition to talks covering the latest progress of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) related to its etiologies, diagnosis, and transnational studies, there will be talks by major Norwegian politicians, industry partners, and AD patient family members covering broad topics of AD. Welcome.
