Track C – Independence & participation in the “self-serve” society
Responsible
Reiner Wichert
The main goal of Track C “Independence & Participation in the AAL Call 3 – Self-Serve Society” is to enable a better cooperation and discussion between the Framework Programme (FP6/FP7) projects, the CIP[1] projects and the nationally funded projects with the AAL JP project in order to highlight actual problems in the self-serve society and to ensure improved efficiency of the projects within Call 3.
A self-serve society is needed in Europe to reduce the cost associated with providing care as the population ages. This represents both benefits and challenges to citizens as well as care providers, both public and private. Goods and services across all areas of economic activity can be accessed and transactions completed by way of digital solutions. Opportunities for individual choice and personalization of products, services and the transaction itself to meet the demands and desires of consumers and citizens is becoming more common. In some areas the provision of such choice to citizens has been mandated, for example through legislation on accessibility. The trend is evident in commercial, cultural and public services but requires a positive approach in development from both suppliers and clients in order to realise the potential benefits of lower costs and greater flexibility.
F presentations from several active projects within the programs mentioned above, four parallel discussion sessions will be held. Each session will focus on a specific topic (defined below) and will be joined by participants of the various Call 3 projects. The results of the active projects will be compared with the expected goals for Call 3 outlined in the keynote speech. A discussion on problems and challenges will be held – this will serve as advice and guidance for the newly initiated Call 3 projects.
