Brussels, 15 February 2010

This Consultation meeting brought together experts from all over Europe. The objective was to provide strategic guidance for future research under the AAL Joint Programme. The outcome will be used as input for the preparation of future calls for proposals.

The consultation was on relevant ICT R&D topics for support under the AAL Joint Programme with a focus on innovative ICT solutions for Ageing Well with a 2-3 years to market perspective, with a view to complementing topics already supported in previous calls.
