AAL Info Day 2021

Are you interested in developing a solution for ageing well in a digital world and getting funded by the AAL Programme? The event will be taking place along two days (27-28 January 2021). The first day will be dedicated to the presentation of the call text, while the second one will be dedicated to the project ideas pitching and the networking.

The event is open to anybody interested to know more about the next Call, ongoing projects and hear about proposals being prepared. Moreover, you will be able to hear from representatives of the European Commission, the AAL Programme and AAL member states.

The Info Day is an opportunity not to be missed, especially if it is the first time you apply and you want to get handy practical information on the how-to, but also if you are not a first-timer and you want to hear some interesting project ideas to collaborate on.
