Mobile Age joins the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing
- Created: 19 May 2016
Launched in 2011, the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing gathers stakeholders from all over Europe committed to increase the healthy life expectancy by two years by 2020. To do so, it works in 6 action groups: adherence, fall prevention, frailty, integrated care, independent living and age-friendly environments.
At the beginning of 2016, all action groups have renewed their action plan and the new one from the age-friendly environments Action Group includes a sub-objective on inclusive smart cities (see here). The renewal of the action plans went hand in hand with a new call for commitments which aimed at " inviting organisations from all over the world, involved in developing, promoting or deploying / implementing innovative solutions for active and healthy ageing, to come forward with projects and initiatives that they will implement in the coming 3 years, which are relevant and can clearly contribute to the goals and action plans of the existing EIP on AHA Action Groups”.
Mobile Age therefore took this opportunity to commit to support the Action Group on age-friendly environments, and in particular its sub-objective on inclusive smart cities, in order to exchange on its activities and share its results with the wide range of stakeholders involved in the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing.
We are very proud to see our commitment accepted and we look forward to building strong relationships with the Partnership.
