Rationale for the JPI “More Years, Better Lives” • The ageing of the European population is a thriving societal
development that is not yet tackled appropriately.
• The JPI seeks to solve the upcoming social and political problems, make use of the economic potentials and establish a positive vision for “Ageing in Europe”.
• The interdisciplinary and holistic JPI’s concept got strong support from the European Research Community on the European preparatory workshop in January 2010 with 130 experts form 20 MS and 4 AC.

Age research requires an interdisciplinary and holistic approach
Interdisciplinary research in each of the research tracks and a continuous exchange between them is of utmost importance.

Health and PerformanceGood health is the most important factor to live independently in old age.New medical treatments and innovative healthcare strategies are the basis for keeping European citizens healthy and active throughout the life course.
Plasticity of ageing biological and genetic limits of human development biological and socio-cultural influences
medical technologies like biocompatible and intelligent implants
Holistic and integrated health care services technological assistive systems in combination with human intervention
health promotion and preventive medicine

7GPC-Meeting, Brussels, 04.05.2010
Social Systems and WelfareThe financial basis of social and welfare systems in Europe is threatened by the demographic development. New economic and business opportunities for ageing societies are not well identified yet.
Systemic and integrated social and health care solutions life-course based approach
New services and new business models technological assistive systems
Expansion of the working life Maintenance of health and productivity throughout a longer working life
Financial and economic effects of demography

Work and ProductivityLongevity confronts the multifaceted reality of work: generational segregation needs to be countered and economic productivity and societal inclusion must be maintained and enhanced. The distribution of work across the life span has to reconsidered.
Age and family-related work processes age-friendly work places flexible working conditions social support and economic modellingambient assisted working work-life balance models
job rotation, lateral careersvolunteering and honorary work
occupational health and safety models
Research Issues

9GPC-Meeting, Brussels, 04.05.2010
Education and LearningLifelong education is essential to secure economic and social inclusion when people become older. Working environments must be recognized as learning environments. Learning and innovation processes in work and educational contexts must be interlinked more intensively.
“50+ PISA” towards empirical and comparable data setslearning conditions and learning impacts
regional and cultural diversity quality control for educational programmesassessment and prediction of structural change
adaptation of educational systemspermeability within and across educational sectors
meta-competences

Housing, Urban-Rural Development & MobilityHome and residential environments are important places for self-determined ageing. Social inclusion needs to be secured both in urban and rural contexts. Mobility in everyday life secures people’s participation in societal, political, and economic exchange processes.
future housing concepts “ghettoisation” vs. mixed-structure living conceptsperspectives of sparsely populated rural areas
maintenance of public infrastructure technical assistive systems for independent living
social connectivity of older peoplePersonalised mobility concepts of the future

Expected ImpactThis approach will initiate a change “from guessing to knowing”. Providing data for an evidence-based policy is the primary task and objective of this JPI, including the following questions:
“What is needed?” → Identifying the potential for positive change.“What can be done?” → Scientific findings as evidence for policy.“How to implement?” → Policy measures that can be used to improve
the situation.“How to measure?” → Evaluation in order to adapt the policies.
