Both the European Union and Japan are experiencing demographic change, with an increasing number of senior citizens. This situation raises urgent questions in a number of social and economic areas, but also represents an opportunity for new economic and technological developments. This two-day event brought together high level experts and policy makers from the EU and Japan to share insights, experiences and success stories on how to tackle this common challenge and improve strategies. The first day symposium discussed the social and economic challenges, as well as the related public policies.
The second day focused on concrete responses provided by research and innovation, with leading EU and Japanese scientists and experts presenting cutting edge projects in health research and Information Society Technologies, as well as key policy initiatives for Active and Healthy Ageing. |
