Peter Wintlev – Jensen, European Commission DG INFSO

Antonio Kung, Trialog, France

The objective of this session is to have a full picture, at political level, of all initiatives going on in Europe, related with ICT and Ageing. The session is specially focused in the future, assuming that participants in the session are already experts on the field.

Now Europe 2020 is going on, as part of it we can find the first efforts done around the Digital Agenda and the Innovation Union. At the same time the European Strategy on ICT for Ageing Well has been reviewed and Horizon 2020 is being defined.

We expect from the session a clarification of the full picture of ICT for Active and Healthy Ageing in Europe, the relationship with the AAL JP, the vision from the users about this full picture, and also the role of some concrete initiatives, like the one going on for interoperability in the AAlooA Lecce Declaration.
