CWE Collaboration Working Environments

1st Annual Learning Event on 5-6Nov08 in Magdeburg

 

In this conference we will share with you key insights from the New Global study on Globalisation and Collaborative Work Environments. These insights range from the results of a pan-European survey amongst SME's on the use of ICT-based, global collaboration to good practice cases of innovative global collaboration by leading European companies.

The conference is organized by the New Global project in collaboration with the European Commission.

For registration and more information: http://www.mcm.unisg.ch/new_global/
Participation is free of charge.

The Conference provides also a great opportunity for related European projects to disseminate their findings and contribute to the ongoing European policy discussion in the domain of global working and collaboration.

Proposal: TEPECS Trans-European
Personal Ehealth Products and Services for ageing persons

Objective 1.4: ICT for ageing well with
cognitive problems, combining assistive and independent living
technologies
*Funding instrument:* Pilot B - it is intended to
support several pilot actions

The objective is to
significantly improve quality of life and social care for the ageing
population by combining assistive technologies to compensate for
cognitive problems or mild dementia with independent living
platforms, specifying and demonstrating the resulting innovative ICT
enabled products and services.

Solutions should provide
cognitive training, activation and reinforcement for the elderly as
well as support to their day-to-day activities and social
interactions. This should result in a substantial prolongation of the
time they can continue to be at home rather than in an institution

The pilots should be clearly demand driven and build
on public-private partnerships. It should
bring together a set of
regional actions addressing the above goals and involve relevant

stakeholders such as care service providers, housing corporations
and insurance organisations.
A strong involvement of users and
their representatives, their families and carers, is expected
to
ensure end-user acceptance and uptake.
