Workshop on ambient assisted living policy

The Joint AAL Association/AALIANCE Workshop on Ambient Assisted Living Policy in Europe will be held in Brussels, Belgium, on 25 and 26 September. The goal of this workshop, which is co-organised with the European Commission, is to create a comprehensive vision of the research and development (R&D) and policy needs for ambient assisted living technologies and to suggest strategies that may serve as a roadmap for industry, service providers, academia and policy makers. An intensive exchange of ideas shall support the building of an AAL community that may form project consortia in the future. The workshop will consist of keynote speeches and four consecutive round table discussions dedicated to the following topics: - Older people at home; - Aging in society; - Aging at work; - AAL Community building. In order to ensure a high intensity of discussion, participation in this workshop will be limited to a total of about 80 persons.
