Workshop on Developing Ambient Assisted Living Solutions in Brussels, Belgium
7 June 2011 - 7 June 2011
Austria
The workshop is organised by the AAL Open Association, the European Commission – ICT for Inclusion unit, and supported by the AAL Association. It is directed at companies whose business involves the development of software components or complete solutions for AAL (Ambient Assisted Living). The participation of SMEs is particularly welcome.
The workshop will be held on the 7th of June 2011 at Albert Borschette Conference Centre, Rue Froissart 36, 1040 Brussels, Belgium
The underlying motivation for the workshop is the potential for significant economic and social impact from the introduction – on a wide scale – of innovative AAL solutions. The goals of the workshop are to:
- Indentify technical areas where – in the view of the participants – provision of common approaches or technical solutions would lead to faster, cheaper or more flexible product development.
- Provide information about on-going activities in this area supported by the European Commission and AALA
- Discuss the form and content of possible new funding measures from the European Commission and AALA aimed at involving companies in practical experimentation with new technologies currently under development, and offering them the opportunity to influence this work to match their needs.
While this potential has been recognized for some time, breakthroughs in terms of widespread availability and deployment of solutions have yet to be achieved. The EU and the AAL Association have funded activities in this area for some years, and some of these are now at a stage in their development where direct hands-on involvement of development companies is the best way to make sure that this work produces results that are effective and applicable in real industrial settings.
