2021 AAL Forum – call for workshops

The next AAL Forum will be held in Trieste, Italy on 10-12 May 2021 in collaboration with its member Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and the Fondazione Internazionale. The AAL Forum is the annual flagship event of the AAL Programme, which presents and shares knowledge in the field of active and healthy ageing and to be a major networking place for researchers, care professionals, companies active in the silver economy and policy experts.

The AAL Forum will take inspiration from the Decade of Healthy Ageing launched by the WHO in 2020, in order to discuss and exchange on key active & healthy ageing priorities for a collective and collaborative approach in Europe.

The Forum will touch upon some of the main topics put forward by WHO, such as:

1. Driving a platform for innovation and change;
2. Adapting health and care systems to the changing needs of an ageing population & drawing on the emerging learnings from the Coronavirus outbreak in 2020;
3. Promoting Intergenerational Solidarity;
4. Make the socio-economic case for impact investment into healthy ageing.

Proposals for workshop during the AAL Forum that are linked to either of the above mentioned topics can be submitted to aalforum2021@fondazioneinternazionale.org until 26 June 2020. Workshops should be interactive and motivational sessions and follow the below described thematic areas dedicated to the upcoming Decade of Healthy Ageing.
