Network for the Market uptake of ICT for Ageing Well

Project description


ICT Solutions for Fall prevention, and ICT and Ageing network

The aim of the AgeingWell Network is to build and animate a European network focused on improving the quality of life of Elderly People by promoting the market uptake of ICT solutions for Ageing Well.

\\n\\n

To achieve its aim, the following five main objectives of the AgeingWell project are:

\\n\\n
    \\n
  1. Develop Guidelines for deployment and sharing of best practice between key competence centres;
  2. \\n
  3. Build an ICT for Ageing Knowledge Centre with the aim to share relevant information and results with the AgeingWell Community;
  4. \\n
  5. Develop an ICT for Ageing Society Strategic Agenda, with the aim of providing a study on options for future structure and implementation of EU innovation funding;
  6. \\n
  7. Promote the European innovation reinforcement between innovative ICT & Ageing enterprises (in particular SMEs) and the Investment Community;
  8. \\n
  9. Raise awareness within the European community of ICT & Ageing stakeholders.

The aim of AgeingWell network is to build and animate a European network focus on improving the quality of life of Elderly People by promoting the market uptake of ICT solutions for Ageing Well.
Elderly people in the future will not be the same as elderly people today in regard to their health, their wealth, their lifestyles and activities and their travel needs. This means examination of trends of the elderly today is not an adequate indicator of the trends of future generations of the elderly. The AgeingWell approach seeks to improve the communication and cooperation between the different stakeholders bringing together the key national or regional initiatives in the field of ICT for Ageing Well in order to develop guidelines for deployment of such ICT & Ageing Well solutions, share good practice and disseminate information to all the stakeholders across Europe.
Europe's response to the societal challenges will depend upon investing more in R&D, and in particular, will need to include actions to ensure innovation and the development of markets and/or public service environments. Such challenges may be rooted in economic, environmental or social goals (the so-called three pillars of the EU's Sustainable Development Strategy) but share a need to demonstrate their relevance at the European level, their feasibility in terms of Europe's capability to engage with them.
