Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'INNOVAGE is an ambitious project is dedicated to developing and testing, as well as surveying and cataloguing, social innovations that will have a solid impact on improving the quality of life and well-being of older people. In particular the project aims to make a major contribution to the EU goal of extending healthy life years. It has four clear and achievable objectives that are intended to create a new paradigm in this field. These objectives directly address the present major barriers to innovation and to the achievement of the extension of healthy life years across the EU. The expert multi-disciplinary team is based on a highly successful existing collaboration, which will enable fast take-off and the guarantee of excellent team work. The work packages are designed to achieve impact in the public, private and third sectors. The project is built on the closest possible partnership with end users (or stakeholders) including older people themselves. It will deliver not only four new major social innovations in different EU countries (services models and products) but also a new European platform to promote knowledge exchange about and the sustainable implementation of social innovations to promote well-being in later life.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
The EU is not fully exploiting resources to improve the well-being and quality of life of the elderly. An EU initiative is designing novel solutions to support active and healthy ageing.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Horizon 2020, with its emphasis on tackling societal challenges, fosters social innovations (SIs) to extend healthy life expectancy. SIs can be ideas, products, services or models designed to enhance the well-being and quality of life of people as they age. The EU could be doing more to benefit from the potential of SIs in active and healthy ageing.
Thanks to EU funding, the 'Social innovations promoting active and healthy ageing' (http://www.innovage.group.shef.ac.uk/ (INNOVAGE)) project is identifying and developing SIs to prolong healthy life years across the EU.
To achieve this, project members have created cost-efficient SIs involving social innovation, well-being, quality of life and healthy life expectancy (HLE) for housing, carers, obesity and long-term care across EU Member States. The team is piloting the four SIs.
Project partners are also setting up an EU-wide web-based platform to support the sustainable implementation of SIs aimed at promoting well-being in later life. It consists of an active and healthy ageing model designed to maximise participation and well-being as people age. A prototype has been developed and is being tested in three Member States.
A global SIs survey is underway that will be carried out throughout the project. It gathers SIs that may potentially boost HLE. The mapping activity will lead to an extensive SI models database.
INNOVAGE is introducing innovative approaches to better quality of life and well-being. Project outcomes will ultimately introduce a pioneering model for European senior citizens, embracing shifts and trends in the labour market, social behaviour and life expectancy.
