Samenvatting

Promoting Healthy Ageing, and specifically an Active & Healthy Lifestyle, is one of the biggest societal and economic challenges the EU is facing. A paradigm shift from health care and cure to prevention is essential since the traditional ways have proven to be insufficient to solve this complex problem. Purpose of the COP4HL project is to develop and implement an impact-driven multi-sector approach that develops innovative products and services to promote Healthy Lifestyle in different EU settings. During this 3-year project, a consortium consisting of 17 partners from 7 EU Member States has been formed. In 5 countries (NL, DEN, ESP, POR, LIT), a Knowledge Alliance is composed of higher education institutes and businesses, supported by public authorities, who are accepting the need of co-creating knowledge to stimulate innovation for an Active & Healthy Lifestyle. Together they develop communities of practice that are organized as learning partnerships. This project is co-financed by the Erasmus+/Knowledge Alliance programme of the European Union (587982-EPP-1-2017-1-NL-EPPKA2-KA)
