Longevity events in Vienna

1 free event coming up in Vienna. Next one: Friday, September 18, 2026.

Longevity Vienna is a free, science based community for anyone who wants more healthy years, and it is the Vienna chapter of Longevity Austria. The city gives the subject a double character. Ageing research runs at the Medical University of Vienna and in the labs of the Vienna BioCenter out in St. Marx, while the rest of town still treats two hours in a Kaffeehaus as a perfectly good use of an afternoon. Both halves turn up in our conversations. Meetups, expert talks and hands on workshops fill most of the calendar, plus community challenges that run for a few weeks with everyone reporting back. The recurring subjects: biological age, sleep, nutrition, strength training, VO2max (how much oxygen your body can actually use when you push it) and what an extended blood panel does or does not tell you. Biohacking comes up at nearly every meetup, usually followed by somebody asking which study that came from. We meet in different parts of the city rather than at one fixed address, so an evening might land in the Innere Stadt one month and in Neubau or Leopoldstadt the next. A quick clarification, since people arrive here from very different searches. Longevity Vienna is not a longevity center, not a clinic, not a paid health club and not a seminar provider. Membership costs nothing and there is nothing on sale. Vienna does have a commercial side that has grown fast: private longevity centres in and around the first district, practices offering anti ageing and functional medicine, labs selling extended panels, cryo chambers, hyperbaric oxygen and infusion menus. Members who paid for those things tend to say openly what it was worth to them. Our community Spots map collects local labs, gyms, studios and longevity friendly practices as a starting point. We do not check any of them medically. The room is usually mixed: hospital and research people, founders, long time self trackers and plenty of newcomers who only started reading about ageing this year. As the Austrian hub of Longevity Austria, the chapter is also the first stop for people elsewhere in the country. A free account, the Vienna WhatsApp group or simply walking into the next event all work as a start. There is no application and nobody has to approve you.
