Main goal: Produce high-qualitative, accessible articles on longevity research with the purpose of increasing awareness and funding to the field.
Core team	1.1. Attract scientific researchers in the field of longevity research to contribute to our articles. 1.2. Keep and build an active, sustainable community that is engaged and willing to produce and maintain content. 1.3. Produce new high-qualitative accessible articles on longevity topics in pace with new research, and maintain the ones already existing.	Non-direct project impact 1.1.a) 1.2.a) Awareness of Longevity research increases among researchers and the public 1.2.b) Credibility of Longevity research increases among research institutions and news sources Direct project impact 2.1.a) Awareness of Longevity Wiki increases 2.1.b) Credibility of Longevity Wiki increases 2.1.c) Accessibility of Longevity Wiki increases 2.1.d) Number of articles on Longevity Wiki increases	Non-direct project impact 1.1. Funding for researchers and research institutions that focus on longevity increase. 1.2. Awareness of the importance, existence and credibility of longevity research increase among researchers and the public. 2.1 Longevity Wiki is a well-known, science-based, sense-making, trustworthy and reliable source of information on longevity.	Longevity research is an established research field, with several institutions around the world having longevity as a research focus, and more researchers continually come into the field, with the number of scientific research papers steadily increasing. Longevity Wiki is the primary Internet source of knowledge in longevity research.	Significant increase in average/maximum human health- and/or lifespan in the next 100 years and life extension therapies are accessible all over the world.
