Innovation Union: Results of the Consultation on the Pilot European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing

From 26 November 2010 to 28 January 2011, the European Commission ran an online public consultation seeking the views of all interested stakeholders on various aspects of the pilot partnership. The public consultation obtained a total of 524 contributions, thereby providing the Commission with a very rich, diverse and unique feedback.

The wealth of experiences and initiatives brought forward by the respondents reveal some key dimensions: Being active locally and regionally but fully benefiting from the richness of global knowledge and experiences; Focusing on implementation and bringing tangible results to the citizens through more coordinated actions; Thinking outside of the usual channels, structures and definitions.

These dimensions can be translated into more concrete suggestions. Respondents see the role of the Partnership relating to 1) funding 2) evidence, 3) regulation and framework conditions and 4) building capacity/skills.
