Partnerships for Social Innovation in Europe

"Active Ageing: Innovations, Market, and EU Initiatives" was the theme of the third AAL Forum in Lecce. The AAL Forum 2011 invited us to discover the significant progresses made by the AAL JP projects and to think and contribute in shaping the future of ICT based supporting solutions for the senior population. The most recent EU initiatives were presented, like the European Innovation Partnership and its pilot on Active and Healthy Ageing promoted by the European Commisssion. A unique focus during the Lecce Forum was on Social Interactions, with the aim to bring projects together and discuss relevant aspects.
