| Annotation | FUTURAGE is a two-year project completed in December 2011 and funded by the European Commission, under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), to create the definitive road map for ageing research in Europe for the next 10-15 years. The project was completed in December 2011. This Road Map identifies seven priority research themes: healthy ageing for more life in years; maintaining and regaining mental capacity; inclusion and participation in the community and in the labour market; guaranteeing the quality and sustainability of social protection systems; ageing well at home and in community environments; unequal ageing and age-related inequalities; and biogerontology: from mechanisms to interventions. The Road Map is also based on eight basic assumptions: multi-disciplinarity, user engagement, a life course perspective, a person-environment perspective, the importance of diversities and intergenerational relationships, knowledge exchange, and technological innovation. Appendices list the main questions to be answered for each of the research priorities. (RH) |
