About Us

Founded in 1990 by world-renowned gerontologist and Pulitzer Prize winner Robert N. Butler, M.D., we are the first nonprofit, nonpartisan, international research, policy, and education organization formed to educate individuals on how to live longer and better, and advise society on how to maximize the benefits of today's age boom.

Continuous Research & Outreach

Societies across the globe are experiencing a massive demographic shift—the longevity revolution. In the United States, a baby boomer turns 50 every 7.6 seconds, and the ILC-USA is responding to that challenge.

We are a “think and action tank” helping individuals, corporations, foundations, and government leaders navigate today’s unprecedented increase in longevity through a continuous cycle of:

original research scientific workshops educational publications corporate and government relations media outreach

An International Consortium

Affiliated with The Mount Sinai Medical Center, and part of an international consortium of independent sister centers, our global alliance is the only non-governmental organization capable of carrying out global research and education on such projects as:

caregiving sleep ageism financing longevity politics & health care

Turning Knowledge Into Action

From healthcare challenges to work-force issues, from the personal to the political, we turn our knowledge into action to help you understand the demographic forces shaping tomorrow’s society. For more information, or to learn how you can get involved, please contact us.
