Webinar: Living environments supporting health and independency
How do we solve the challenges of an aging population and severe pressure on the healthcare systems across Europe? In this webinar, we present you with perspectives from different projects trying to contribute to the solution.
Our living environments, such as private homes, residential homes, and care home facilities, play a big role in solving Europe’s challenges of an aging population.
The requirements for how we build are increasing, and a high level of adaptability in our living environments is needed. Furthermore, the integration of welfare and health technologies in our living environments is more important than ever.
In this process, we must not forget the users, and how important it is to include them and their needs in these types of projects.
Why join this webinar?
Learn more about all the above-mentioned perspectives and get inspiration on how to work within this cross-sectorial field.
Essentially, you will learn more about how your organisation can benefit from working on cross-sectoral projects and how to tap into the paradigm of healthy and adaptable living environments.
