International Seminar - Building an evidence base for active ageing policies: Active Ageing Index and its potential

16-17 April 2015, Brussels. CPC member Asghar Zaidi delivered a keynote speech entitled "Trends in Active Ageing Index" and CPC researcher Arkadiusz Wisniowski presented his co-authored paper on "Active Ageing and Policy Implications in China".

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the European Commission's Directorate General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (DG EMPL) organised an international seminar "Building an evidence base for active ageing policies: Active Ageing Index and its potential". The seminar was 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 aimed to bring together researchers, civil society representatives, policymakers and other stakeholders and provided 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.
