Final BRAID (Bridging Research in Ageing and ICT Development) Workshop

The efficient engagement of relevant stakeholder groups is a key ingredient in the BRAID project for successfully addressing pertinent issues relevant to ICT and ageing. The final BRAID workshop will be reaching out to representatives from the Central and Eastern Europe region, in order to share the BRAID vision with key stakeholders and local authorities, as well as to get an insight on the current situation and future prospects in the area of ICT and ageing for countries that have most recently joined the European Union. Overall, the aim of this workshop is to take that extra step towards planning for an effective implementation of the BRAID roadmap, through actively involving all participants of the workshop in a series of activities within the context of an “implementation exercise”. Furthermore, local stakeholders will be invited to address theoretical and practical issues relevant to ICT and ageing in the context of Hungary and the wider region.

BRAID is a FP7 Support Action funded within the specific programme "Cooperation" and the research theme "ICT" of the 7th European Framework Programme (Objective ICT-2009.7.1 ICT & Ageing).
