Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Joint Program is announcing a new call for proposals for ICT-based Solutions for Advancement of Older Persons’ Independence and Participation in the “Self-Serve Society”.
Background & Objective:
AAL Joint Program aims to enhance the quality of life of older people and strengthen the industrial base in Europe through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The motivation of the new funding activity is in the demographic change and ageing in Europe, which implies not only challenges but also opportunities for the citizens, the social and healthcare systems as well as industry and the European market.
Proposals for funding should have an explicit European dimension, aiming at solutions which are adaptable across Europe and addressing end-user needs that are transnational and European in character. Cultural, organisational, and market diversity is important also for the development and uptake of ICT-solutions. Proposals are encouraged to include variations along these dimensions - including in the piloting activities.
Relevant application areas:
* Home environment and related activities of daily living – at home, on holiday, in visits (“mobile enabled solutions”)
* Transportation and travel activities
In any application area, innovation of ICT-based solutions must take into account the following challenges:
- Improvement of older people's access to, acceptance, trust, and use of services provided through ICT-based solutions.
- Improvement of user interfaces and the usability of devices and solutions for older people, based on design for all-principles as far as possible.
- Enabling customization to individual needs and wishes of elderly people of the total service chain involving different providers, channels, methods, and market segments.
- Integration of new ICT-based solutions to be provided by existing (or new) service providers, channels or market segments, and adapted for seniors.
Eligibilities:
Consortium should include at least 3 independent eligible organizations (legal entities), from at least 3 different AAL Partner States participating in the Call for Proposals.
Universities and non-university research establishments are invited to participate in the collaborative projects as subcontractors.
