Long lived lives: constant vitality

The General Foundation of the University of Salamanca, through the International Centre on Ageing (CENIE), among other relevant actions, is the promoter and developer of the Programme for a Longevity Society, based on the strategic, committed and constructive decision to address longevity as one of the strengths of present and future society.

The Programme for a Longevity Society is based on the need to promote, support and implement studies, research, scientific discoveries and technological advances that contribute to defining longevity as a healthy and rewarding stage of life, both for individuals and for the society to which they belong. In this way, longevity becomes a promising horizon full of possibilities, a real engine for growth and a continuous factor for improvement in our social relations and culture.

The Programme for a Longevity Society is a real social and cultural challenge. The implementation of a transformation process in which the length of life is accompanied by the extension of the quality of life. A possible, timely and just process. A process that cannot be delayed.

As part of the actions carried out in pursuit of these objectives, the 3rd edition of the Photography Competition was held with the slogan: "Long lives: constant vitality".

In this edition, 510 photographers from 46 countries took part, submitting a total of 1,881 entries.

The evaluation and selection of the winning works was carried out by a jury of recognised prestige, made up of José Antonio Díaz, Julio Galeote, Beatriz Martínez, Ana Palacios, Jorge Salgado and José Luis Amores.

This activity, as mentioned above, is part of the Programme for a long-lived society, is part of the INTERREG V-A Programme, Spain-Portugal, POCTEP, 2014-2020, of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
