According to the European Commission, the number of citizens over 65 will increase to almost 30% between 2010 and 2060, while the number of those aged over 80 will nearly triple. During this time, health and care services across Europe need to adapt to a growing demand, while facing a shrinking labour force no longer able to provide for the growing needs of an ageing population.
Launched in 2012, The European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing is now in its implementation stage with more than 3,000 partners involved in promoting people-oriented, demand driven innovation for ageing well.
This international symposium provides a timely opportunity to discuss the different ways healthy and active ageing can be encouraged to ensure the well-being and engagement of the elderly in society. The symposium will explore practical solutions to some of the issues associated with an ageing population in Europe.
