Promote debate among stakeholders
The main objective of the workshop will be to promote a fruitful debate among relevant stakeholders who are searching for optimum approaches and to consider how this could evolve into a sustainable dialogue. It will be an opportunity for you to find out more about how standards affect the products and services that you use or provide and to share your views on:
- How the needs of an ageing population can be better addressed
- How standards support ICT-based products & services related to AHA
- How older people’s participation can be assured in the development of the different standards.
Who is invited to join this workshop?
-

- Policy makers and agencies in charge of AHA-related policies
- National, European and international standardisation organisations and their technical bodies relevant to AHA
- Providers of ICT-based products and services related to AHA (in various fields: assistive technologies, care, housing, transport, …)
