SUMMARY:EFP European Policy Workshop on ‘Active and Healthy Ageing – a long term View’
DESCRIPTION:On Monday, 31st January 2011 in Brussels the first European Foresight Platform (EFP) European Policy Workshop will take place, focusing on “Active and healthy ageing – a long-term view” in support of the pilot European Innovation Partnership in the field of active and healthy ageing. In the context of the leverage of the innovation chain on active and healthy ageing, the workshop will approach the central question of “how to increase the average healthy lifespan in the European Union” from three main perspectives: (1) scientific and technological; (2) social innovation and acceptability assessment (ELSI) of ideas; and (3) policymaking. Concrete policy options at European level to tackle the challenge of "Active and Healthy Ageing – with a Long-term View" are expected to result from this Policy Workshop. Download agenda EFP policy workshops aim to cross-fertilize ideas by using ongoing forward looking activities and to provide support to policy-makers at European, national and regional levels in preparing strategic responses to these major challenges. The workshop to be held on 31st of  January 2011 builds on the previous EU foresight monitoring network (EFMN) report published in 2009: "Healthy ageing and the future of public healthcare systems" available at http://ec.europa.eu/research/social-sciences/pdf/efmn-special-issue-on-healthcare_en.pdf.
