From the WE4AHA project, we would like to inform you about the remaining planning for 2020 and some relevant information that we have for the EIP on AHA activity post-2020.
The mandate of all European Innovation Partnerships (EIPs) finalises in December 2020. Considering that the EIP on AHA has been an extremely successful initiative, the EC is considering a future for the EIP on AHA. In fact, WE4AHA has been asked to work with an Internal Working Group composed by representatives from the Action Groups and Reference Sites to conceive a Sustainability Plan for the EIP on AHA after 2020.
This Partnership has now been confirmed and will build on the following major ongoing initiatives:
- European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA)
- Active and Assisted Living programme (AAL)
- More Years, Better Lives Joint Programming Initiative (JPI MYBL)
