A Roadmap for Ageing Research - high-level stakeholders workshop
11 May 2010
Austria
FUTURAGE has responsibility for creating the definitive Road Map for Ageing Research which is intended to guide European research in this field over the next 10-15 years.
This workshop is intended for national and regional research policy makers and funders to introduce them to the first stage in the development of the Road Map and to ensure that their views are fed into the consultation process.
In the morning, the workshop will consist of presentations from the first round of national consultations and scientific priority setting across five themes – biogerontology, social & economic resources, environments of ageing, healthy ageing, and the user perspective - and open discussion, held at the Renaissance Brussels Hotel in the European Quarter.
The afternoon will be spent at the European Parliament, hosted by the STOA Committee. This workshop will focus on the importance of ageing research for Europe’s future and will provide a strategic overview of the current state of play, and the future requirements for European ageing research.
Participants will have the opportunity to contribute, at an early stage, to the development of the definitive Road Map for Ageing Research in Europe.
