Ambient Assisted Living Policy Workshop in Brussels

The Joint AAL Association / AALIANCE Workshop on Ambient Assisted Living Policy in Europe will be held in Brussels on 25-26 September 2008. The goal of this workshop is to create a comprehensive vision of the R&D and policy needs for ambient assisted living technologies and to suggest strategies that may serve as a roadmap for industry, service providers, academia and policy makers. An intensive exchange of ideas shall support the building of a AAL community that may gather as project consortia in the future.

The workshop will consist of keynote speeches and four consecutive round table discussions, each opened by dedicated impulse speakers:

  • Older people at home
  • Aging in Society
  • Aging at Work
  • AAL Community building

Experts are asked to prepare short statements on different aspects of ambient assisted living technology trends in the different user domains, social-institutional aspects and R&D support and AAL community building.

In order to ensure a high intensity of discussion, participation in this workshop will be limited to a total of about 80 persons. Interested experts are asked to apply for participation (including a description of their proposed contribution) on the AALIANCE registration website. Experts will be carefully selected based on the relevance of their announced contribution to the discussion on the workshop topic and taking into account the importance of their attendance for the workshop goal.
