Abstract
Ageing presents one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. According to estimates more than 20% of Europeans will be 65 or older by 2025. Reacting to related puzzlements of demographic shifts and ageing, and guaranteeing the availability of the required structure to help Europe utilise the active and healthy ageing sector's opportunities, the EU has devoted a high level of resources to ICT projects in the field of active and healthy ageing. A considerable number of open source platforms for the development of innovative solutions in the AHA domain have been created. For a period of 26 months, the PlatformUptake.eu project will assess the societal impact of existing platforms, create monitoring and evaluation toolkits, collect successful user stories and best practices, promote interoperability and define guidelines for a common evolution of such platforms within existing policy frameworks and initiatives. PlatformUptake.eu proposes the creation of an online information hub which provides descriptive and support materials, the organisation of stakeholder events, as well as a Massive Open Online Course for promoting synergies, knowledge exchange and a common understanding.
