Making ICT standards fit for Active and Healthy Ageing in Europe

Date: Thursday 19th October 2017
Place: CEN-CENELEC Management Centre in Brussels, Belgium
The venue will be accessible to people with reduced mobility
Registration: places being limited, online registration is compulsory
Language: English only

The agenda is avaible on the project website: check the programme

Promote debate among stakeholders

The main objective of the workshop will be to promote a fruitful debate among relevant stakeholders who are searching for optimum approaches and to consider how this could evolve into a sustainable dialogue. It will be an opportunity for you to find out more about how standards affect the products and services that you use or provide and to share your views on:

How the needs of an ageing population can be better addressed
How standards support ICT-based products & services related to AHA
How older people’s participation can be assured in the development of the different standards.

Who is invited to join this workshop?

Older people’s representatives
Policy makers and agencies in charge of AHA-related policies
National, European and international standardisation organisations and their technical bodies relevant to AHA
Providers of ICT-based products and services related to AHA (in various fields: assistive technologies, care, housing, transport, …)
Research & innovation projects relevant to ICT for AHA standardisation.
