About the Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme - AAL JP
The Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme (AAL JP) is an initiative involving 22 countries and its main objectives are to improve the living conditions of older adults through the use and development of AAL solutions and to strengthen the competitiveness of European industry in the AAL domain. The AAL Joint Programme is initially set up for a duration from 2008 to 2013. The programmes planned total budget is 700 M€, of which approximately 50% is public funding - from the AAL Partner States and the European Commission - and approximately 50% is private funding from participating private organisations.

The AAL JP projects are underpinned by the principle of 'independence'. 'Independence' is not only defined in terms of physical non-reliance on a carer or health care professional. It also encompasses the far more important psycho-social principles of choice, autonomy and control that the person and carers are assigned in the management of their lives.
