Sarah Harper and Kenneth Howse at the International Seminar on the Active Ageing Index | Brussels, 16-17 April 2015


An International Seminar “Building an evidence base for active ageing policies: Active Ageing Index and its potential” is dedicated to the studies focusing on how to achieve better outcomes — measured, for instance, by AAI — through appropriate policies including those that address life course determinants of active and healthy ageing. The seminar provides a multidisciplinary forum for those interested in the use of AAI and other research to enhance the knowledge about ageing and older people and lead to the development of better policies.

The Active Ageing Index (AAI) is a project managed jointly by the European Commission's Directorate General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (DG EMPL), and the Population Unit of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).

The evaluation board is chaired by Prof Sarah Harper (OIPA) and includes Bjarne Hastrup (DanAge), Kenneth Howse (OIPA), Giovanni lamura (INRCA), Jolanta Perek-Bialas (Warsaw School of Economics), Asghar Zaidi (University of Southampton).
