The main approach of NET4AGE-FRIENDLY is to build local or regional ecosystems in each COST country involved, to work on health and well-being in an age-friendly digital world. Ecosystems will be made up of citizens, public authorities, businesses / NGOs and researchers. These will be supported by four thematic working groups (inclusive user-centered design in age-friendly environments and communities; integrated health and wellness pathways; digital solutions and sustainable large-scale implementation; -benefits). The results of the thematic working groups will be integrated by a dedicated working group to create a synergistic output as a reference framework.

Start date: 21-22 Oct 2020

5 working groups

38 countries participate

Period:  4 years

Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the first period of the Action was extended by 6 months (April 30, 2021 - October 31, 2021).
