Communication Activities
In 2016, the Metropolitan Area of Porto was recognised as a Reference Site in the field of Active and Healthy Ageing by the European Commission (European Innovation Partnership – Active and Healthy Ageing). ISMAI is member of the Porto4Ageing consortium, a two-starred Reference Site and Partner Plus of the European Innovation Partnership and Healthy Ageing of the European Commission, that brings together over 80 organisations, the large majority of them established within the Porto Metropolitan Area, in the Northern Region of Portugal. The partnership is built upon the quadruple helix approach – it involves different stakeholders (regional governments and health and care providers, academia and research, industry and civil society), which are in good position to drive structural changes far beyond the scope any one organization could achieve on its own, aiming to innovate and experiment in real world settings. This consortium was created to respond to the different issues related to an active and health ageing, backed by the objectives of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy.
