In February 2017, three European initiatives - Active and Assisted Living (AAL) Programme, the Joint Programming Initiative on Demographic Change “More Years, Better Lives” (JPI MYBL) and COST - European Cooperation in Science and Technology held a joint workshop, where Netzwerk Altern participated.
The aim of the workshop was to provide a platform to the R&D communities active in the field of “ageing and technology” and explore ways how they can work together effectively around a shared interest: The role of information and communication technologies in the lives of older people, in the context of ageing societies, and rapid technological change.
The discussions were organised around three broad challenges which face people in the second half of the lifespan, related to the final years of paid employment and retirement; to life in active retirement; and to disability, frailty and dependency.
