Implementation and Research Activities

The Federal Government intends this agenda to provide a decisive stimulus for research and development addressing demographic change in the years to come. The objective lies in exploring fundamental questions about the social inclusion of seniors and in developing innovative solutions for a long and healthy ageing, including new products and services. The funding focus is not on individual technological results, but on the implementation of innovative solutions that also encompass social, ethical, legal and other societal aspects, and are usually driven by user needs. Joint projects that involve all relevant research disciplines constitute a funding priority. The allocation of funds follows a competition, which means that it is generally preceded by a public announcement that informs about the respective sub-topic and further specific funding criteria. The research agenda is initially scheduled for a period of five years, until the end of 2016. It is to be evaluated at the end of the first funding period and, if appropriate, continued beyond the year 2016, following an adjustment of its operative goals.
