Madrid Meeting - 5th

and 6th

of June

Place: Investen-ISCIII

Madrid

Day 1 - 5th of June 2013

11:05-11:45 - Introduction new partners

The session starts off with a short presentation the new partners (presentation in

Dropbox with filename: A2_commitment_master file Madrid 5-6 June), with a brief

statement on the commitment and the organisation.

A total of 32 new commitments have joined the Action Group, many of which present

at the meeting. They cover a wide range of themes, including technology, public health,

medical economic, etc.

11:45-12:15 Thematic networks 2x (session 1)

The presentation of the 2 Thematic Networks, E-NO-FALLS and PROFOUND, took

place after lunch

E-NO-FALLS, was presented by Andreu Català (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya).

He presented the network and its objectives, and the work foreseen in the network. The

E-NO-FALLS network is structured around a set of working groups, and invites

commitments to participate in these working groups and request cooperation for the

activities related to the collection of knowledge and information. A liaison committee

has been created together with PROFOUND and meetings are on-going on close

cooperation between the networks.

13:30-13:45 Thematic networks 2x (session 2)

The PROFOUND thematic network was presented by Wim Rogmans (Eurosafe)

(apologies were received by Chris Todd, University of Manchester and coordinator of

PROFOUND) While E-NO-FALLS focusses on the development of ICT solutions,

PROFOUND focusses on development of behaviour change programmes (ICT is part of

PROFOUND but it is mainly used as a means for communication), and ensure available

evidence is translated into practice. The network started its activities on the 1st of April

2013, and its results and evidence from PROFOUND will be made available

PROFOUND will contribute to A2 through the contribution of data and coordinates

Action Area 3, and contributes here above all with best practices

TN’s and synchronizing actions with EIP-AHA A2

The conclusion is that the presented Thematic Networks do differ, however there is

some overlap between them as well as with the work of the A2 Action Group.

Andreu Català (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) presents the alignment of both

Thematic Networks with the activities and action plan of the A2 Action Group, The

presentation covers: ):

Specific Action A2: “Personalized health management, starting with a Falls Prevention Initiative

2

- Identification of deliverables of both networks that are relevant for the

deliverables of the Action Plan and indicating the specific A2 Deliverable with

which they are related.

- Periodic reports of both networks are aligned in time

- E-NO-FALLS addresses pre-commercial, market uptake and standardization

issues, which is a potential area for collaboration with PROFOUND with whom

there is a considerable overlap in this issue. E-NO-FALLS has more effort in

this area and talks are on-going on how to share the effort in an optimised way.

- Both networks will design together a strategy to guarantee sustainability beyond

the project timeline

A common portal is foreseen for both networks together: “fallsprevention.eu”, the portal

is to be designed by PROFOUND and E-NO_FALLS is in charge of developing the

ICT forum. The portal and its contents have a direct relation to D3.3 and D4.6 of the A2

Action Plan, and the underlying idea is that the portal is also the main portal for the A2

Action Group. Taking this into account, there is an opportunity to clarify the overlap

between the two aforementioned deliverables in the action plan (maybe even with a

possible merging of both).

A question is raised by the A2 Coordinator, Nick Guldemond, Medical Delta, on how

commitments can cooperate in a concrete manner with the two Thematic Networks. The

discussion provides several possibilities:

1. Request for providing information to the networks, e.g. through filling in

questionnaires

2. Networks will organise focus groups on specific aspects of fall prevention, the

focus groups will be populated by partners of the networks and commitments of

A2 will be invited to participate,

3. Commitments are invited to provide the networks with any information requests

and contribution they feel could be relevant.

4. The networks will organise workshops, based upon group discussions and round

tables, ensuring interactivity and commitments are invited to participate in the

workshops.

5. A2 members are invited to provide their own input and opinion, at the same

time the Thematic Network coordinators will make sure the deliverables will be

aligned as much as possible with the A2 work and deliverables.

6. More specifically the networks´ relation with the A2 Action Plan is mainly in

the following fields:

a. Monitoring of data

b. Practices

c. Governance & Dissemination

d. ICT and marketing

Both Thematic Networks have started their activities in March/April 2013. After this all

A2 members will receive information on the networks.

13:30-13:45 Short overview A2

Nick Guldemond (Medical Delta) Coordinator if the A2 Action Group, provides a short

overview and current status of the A2 Action Group; . He starts with the situation of

ageing population and the problems related to chronic diseases and their impact on care


3

and health services, and links it with the underlying reasons for the EIP on Active and

Healthy Ageing. He then provides an explanation on what the A2 Action Plan is about,

including an overview of the outcome objectives, and includes an overview of Action

Areas and a short explanation on their main aspects.

13:45-14:00 General updates and announcements

Nick Guldemond (Medical Delta), Coordinator if the A2 Action Group indicates that

some proposals submitted in the ICT call of FP7 by A2 members and some were

successful, also some proposals were submitted by A2 members for the HEALTH call,

which is still under evaluation. The A2 Action Group participated in the eHealth week,

with and: A2 session, presented by Nick Guldemond in his role as Coordination of the

Action Group, and three invited speakers participated covering basic research,

technology development and (commercial) technology deployment

Upcoming events are:

On the 1st of July the Star Ceremony will be held in Brussels, where the stars for

the Best Practices that were presented on the 19th of April will be awarded

following a self-assessment exercise and a peer review process, European

Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing Reference Sites will be

awarded stars during this event. It will be an occasion not only to reward the

work of the Reference Sites, but also to give them an opportunity to share their

best practices with a broader audience and to advertise for the replicability of

their models across Europe.

On the 25th of November the Conference of partners for all 6 Action Groups

will take place in Brussels

14:00-15:00 Action Area 1 (part 1)

This session aims to review the progress of actions, the integration of the new

commitment, distribute responsibilities and agree on the detailed planning of the next

steps. The session is moderated by Irene O'Byrne Maguire (HSE Ireland), one of the

Action Area coordinators. She coordinated the area together with Ann Murray and with

support from Lynn Garrett (both from NHS Scotland) Coordinators of the Action Area

are actually from organisations that are doing implementation in their own health

system/organisation.

The session starts off with a presentation on the status of Action Area 1 by Irene

O'Byrne Maguire (HSE Ireland).

Before the meeting, each new commitment was asked to have a close look to the Action

Areas and think about how and where each can contribute. The request for new

commitments to include themselves as contributing partners in the activities and

deliverables of Action Area 1 as presented is repeated.

The Action Area has three deliverables, for each one a deliverable coordinator has been

identified:

D1.1 Coordinator Irene O'Byrne Maguire (HSE) & Ann Murray (NHS)

D1.2 Coordinator Emilia Ambrosini (FSM-POLIMI)

D1.3 Coordinator Bart Verkerke (SPRINTS – University Medical Center Groningen)

Current status on Deliverables1.1

Surveys have gone out in January, 6 to 7 responses have been received up to date. Short

overview on the structure of responses and how these were treated is realised:

- Some results of the recollected information is highlighted, however there seems

to be sufficient coverage across countries and different programmes according

the different stages defined.

- Some more information on WHAT is needed, and a request for more

information from new commitments is done.

- With respect to HOW – there are 6 to 7 samples of what is going in the system,

and these were asked to look at the age ranges as compared to total population

(% of total population).

- The Coordination Team asks the new commitments: Who can provide data on

demographics and the situation in a particular region/country and related to

falls?. The following commitments expressed their willingness to contribute

during the meeting:

o Catarina Pereira, University of Evora – Several datasets available on

older persons.

o Emilia Ambrosini, in representation of TECHforLifE & Lombardy

region – have the capacity to collect such data.

o Luca Palmerini, PROFITER & Regione Emilio Romagna – data on the

region should be available, the commitment will check back with

clinicians in the region.

o Maria Fátima de Pina, University of Porto – analysing nationwide data

on hospital admissions could be used for falls.

o Mirjam Pijnappels, Amsterdam Center on Ageing – a database is

available and combines clinical falls risks assessment with daily

activities and activities in the home situation to improve available risk

profiling.

- There are still some WEAK parts as on the how: There is very little information

included on funding, procurement and business models, other gaps are related to

workforce development and ICT.

The Template used to collect the first responses will be made available in the Dropbox

so new commitments can use the template to provide their input and responses to the

deliverable coordinator.

15:30-16:00 Action Area 1 (part 2)

Presentation on D1.2 and related tasks

Emilia Ambrosini (FSM.-POLI;I & TECHforLifE) requests a co-coordinator for /

Deliverable D1.2, and identifies a possible overlap of D1.2 with D1.3 – D.1.3 deals

mainly with all ICT solutions. In order to optimise the Action Plan, she proposes to take

out the reference to the ICT solutions in D1.2 (as these are addressed in D.3 in order to

avoid repetition of work), and remove task 1.2.4 and move it forward to tasks related to

D1.3.


5

As during the session no decision is taken, the Action Group Coordinator proposes to

discuss this on-line. With respect to the Literature Review a requests goes out to

partners and new commitments to join in for the literature review and also contributing

members required for the analysis. The following commitments indicate during the

meeting their interest in contributing:

Luis Pedro Ribeiro, University of Algarve – can contribute to assessing,

screening and reviewing the procedures. Indicates that there is Need for

standardisation in the analysis of the tools (with more focus on osteoporosis).

Maria Fátima de Pina, University of Oporto - support in the design of the

database and definition of the database model

Gema Maria Saiz Ladera, Somamfyc - organises a workshop on a new tool to be

demonstrated and validated in a clinical trial.

Madelena Gomez da Silva, Instituto Politecnico Setubal (however with some

doubts on if the contribution belongs to D1.2 or D1.3) can contribute with an

inventory of all fall programmes in regions of Lisbon. Irene O'Byrne Maguire

will revise the templates and Action Areas and will provide feedback on where

the contribution best fits.

Alxandre Goswami Nandu, Medical University of Graz has data available on

syncope and why people fall, they are – using mathematical modelling for

prediction (It is mentioned that the contribution could also be relevant for D1.1).

Rocio Diaz Sanchez, CSIC – Spanish Research Council is identifying risk

factors for falling, and identifying people with high risk of falling.

In more generic terms, Regina Fertmann from the Ministry for Health and Consumer

Protection Hamburg indicates they can contribute to the Action Area 1, but raises the

question on how to do this, proactively or wait for inquiry, The Coordination Team

members indicate that the AA1 coordinator will confer after session to explain.

With respect to the on-going work in D1.2: The collection of all the information needed

is foreseen for October. In this respect Maria Fátima de Pina of the University of

Oporto comments that it is necessary to ensure data-modelling before starting to collect

information and data, necessary to compare and/or merge different type of information.

It is mentioned that some of the work on this is done in the thematic networks; however

A2 is largely about collecting information and best practices (and not data-modelling).

With respect databases and database collection, some work is done in the two Thematic

Networks, in PROFOUND there is a workpackage on data recollection, E-NO-FALLS

has an agreement on the kind of data they want to collect, discussions have been on-

going during the last months and an agreement has been reached with the PROFOUND

network. The issue of standardisation is also to be addressed, but at a later stage. The

FARSEEING project looks more at taxonomy of defining what is what, and will

provide input. However the approach cannot be scientifically rigorous and a pragmatic

approach needs to be taken.

Concerning the difference between Action Area 1 and Action Area 2, are that Action

Area is more focussed on care process and care provision (implementation) and Action

Area 2 is more about the indicators and modelling (collecting data and modelling them).

It is clear that there no sharp lines between Action Areas nor between deliverables, and

each commitment should make an effort to contribute across Action Areas and


6

Deliverables. The Coordinator of the deliverable should communicate with the other

Deliverable Coordinators and the Coordination Team to clarify these kinds of overlaps,

a possibility is to have a monthly meeting

Presentation on D1.3 Bart Verkerke

Bart Verkerke (SPRINTS) presents the work done by students of the University of

Twente, which includes a literature review, identification of risk factors, analysis and

requirements for fall proof accommodation. (For more detail see presentation). The

work shown is an example on how one can use work done in universities or other

organisations to align it with the work in the Action Area.

A question is posed on how partners can contribute, as it is not clear if there is a

template available for the collection of the work. Commitments request a more

structured approach to the work in the Deliverable and a template is required... A

discussion is needed on how the information needs to be presented.

Luisella Cianferotti University of Florence recommends to strive for evidence-based

results for identifying risk factors, and maybe classify the risk factors. The Action

Group Coordinator indicates that although very relevant, taking into account the

objectives of the Action Group, practice based results and risk factors should also be

considered relevant.

An additional presentation is realised by Ben Kröse from Healthlab on an example on

testing ICT solutions to show additional type of content that can be part of D1.3. He

proposes to realise an inventory of the technology, what works and what does not work.

Healthlab is willing to coordinate this effort and elaborate a review paper on this topic

and asks commitments to contact him if they are interested in contributing. Potential

contributors could be the University of Bologna (Luca Palmerini) and Fondazione Santa

Luzia (Roberta Annicchiarico).

16:00-17:30Action Area 2

Nick Guldemond, Medical Delta, as coordinator of Action Area introduces the Action

Area by a short overview with to the tasks and deliverables.

Deliverable 2.1 Presentation by Orna Donoghue (TRIL)

Orna, Donoghue (TRIL) Deliverable coordinator of D2.1, indicates that during the last

meeting it was agreed to use on-line tools for the collecting of the information. A

structure for the database is presented, the structure is currently based upon the Irish

situation and a request for feedback and input on how to adapt it to be valid for all the

countries involved goes out to all commitment. Also any additional sources of

information to be included in the method should be communicated to the Deliverable

Coordinator. At this stage decisions need to be taken on the approach with respect to the

survey and collection of information, such as e.g. in the case of hospitals.

Questions on the minimum and maximum dataset of D2.2 are also addressed in the

survey (as a joint effort with Ageing Well as coordinator for D2.2). It is work in

progress and once a more complete draft is ready it will be circulated to all. Foreseen


7

planning is to have the survey completed before Christmas 2013 so that analysis can

start in the first weeks of 2014.

Also, at this stage a decision needs to be taken on which studies are taken into account,

a pragmatic approach is required and the work needs to be achievable. This will be

discussed as part of the further work of the deliverable. With respect to contributions of

commitments:

Luca Palmerini, PROFITER – University of Bologna is also involved as partner

in the project Farseeing, and data is available through both the university and the

project. .

Ben Kröse, Healthlab mentions the use of social media, a lot of information is

available on social media, if conducting a clever analysis tool interesting

information can be drawn from these.

Sandra Zampieri University of Padova can contribute by data on recovery of

elderly, but lacks data on the prevention of falling which are trained with their

protocols, currently only data for muscle mass recovery available.

Wim Rogmans, EUROSAFE the focus of the inventory should be clearly taken

into account when developing the work, individual studies should not be taken

into account, but only those that are directly related to the purpose and content

of the inventory as defined in the Action Plan, so should focus on the most

relevant indicators.

Patrik Eklund (Ageing Well), indicates that the report should include information on

how the situation is in each of the countries and explain how data collection works in

each country

The following commitments indicate to be collecting data from the community related

to falls:

- Ana Maria Texeira, Ageing@Coimbra and University of Coimbra collects data

from the hospital, also starting programme on monitoring falls in a hospital

environment

- Roberta Annicchiarico, Fondazione Sta Luzia (I DON’T FALL project) also

collects data on falls from a large number of patients from pilot sites in different

countries

- Maria Beatriz Dias Fernandes, Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde de

Lisboa collects data on balance in elderly in Portugal, Poland and Spain, and

identifies risk factors in the population under study

- Andreu Català, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya is also involved in another

project(FAITH)where data on 200 persons at home will be collected

Presentation Patrik Eklund (Ageing Well) D2.2

Patrik Eklund of Ageing Well, presents the first draft of the deliverable 2.2 , and states

that a more active involvement of commitments is needed.

He proposes to include external experts (for description see deliverable) in the

deliverable.

The Deliverable itself indicates in the text where more information and input is needed

from the commitments. Currently the draft has only been sent out to those that


8

contributed and were active in the elaboration of the deliverable, soon after the meeting

an email will go out with the draft to all with the question of indicating which

commitments want to contribute and how.

Chapter 8 focusses on guidelines in each of the participating countries, and more

information is needed here, this will be emphasized in the email to be sent. With respect

to the commitments contribution, the following was mentioned:

- Italian guideline on prevention of falls for elderly is available

- Roberta Annicchiarico, Fondazione Sta Luzia has clinical trials which

can provide relevant information

- Alxandre Goswami Nandu, Medical University Graz will contribute

- Maria José Martins da Costa Dias, Hospital de Luz Lisboa will

contribute

- Luisella Cianferotti, University of Florence can contribute to

osteoporosis patients after hip fracture

17:30-17:45 Short wrap-up and conclusions

Wrap realised by Geert Vandercraeynest, representative of DG CONNECT/European

Commission in the Action Group. He indicates that the efforts going on are positive, a

stronger overall coordination is needed, and the focus on delivery in the frame of the A2

action plan needs to be maintained. To this end the role of deliverable coordinators

(from now on called “deliverable leaders”) needs to be reinforced. The Coordination

Team will take action to get this on track.

DAY 2

09:00-10:30 Action Area 3

The session provides first and overview of the Action Area, which is about raising

awareness and train the trainers and those involved in fall prevention.

D3.1 is about awareness: on how to communicate issues related to falls prevention, i.e.

focus on communication strategies and the evidence on it. The deliverable also

identifies the potential ambassadors in a region, i.e. those capable of getting the

message for fall prevention across to politicians should be identified by the

commitments in their areas.

PROFOUND and E-NO-FALLS have in their deliverables also setting up a website,

idea is to create a unique portal for falls prevention under which each of the initiatives

have their own areas and D3.1 can be linked to this.

The slide where the different elements from PROFOUND are aligned across Action

Area 3 and D3.1 is shown to represent the links between the work and deliverable of the

thematic network and the Action Area activities and deliverables. The Action Area

coordinator, Chris Todd, University of Manchester and coordinator of PROFOUND is

to provide a template to indicate what is done by PROFOUND and collect contributions

by other commitments.

The following Commitments indicate they willing to contribute to Deliverable 3.1:


9

Madelena Gomez da Silva, Instituto Politecnico Setubal is able to contribute to

tasks 9 and 10 as originally indicated,.

Ana Maria Texeira, Ageing@Coimbra and University of Coimbra can contribute

to training, developed training programme with physical exercise, initially they

included this contribution under D3.3 and D3.. With respect to awareness, the

science centres can bridge the gaps and university and a TV channel has also

agreed to do a series of packages on fall prevention.

Odete Sofia Da Silva Lomba de Araújo, University of Minho has created a

training team, intervention also with caregivers , collecting information to

develop a manual for caregivers.

Roberta Annicchiarico, Fondazione Sta Luzia through the I DON´T FALL

project, can contribute as this project includes training programmes on cognitive

impairment, physical impairment, link up with activities in Action Area 3

D3.2 Increase knowledge and skills

Some overlap I detected with D3.1, however D3.2 focusses specifically on learning and

awareness on screening on risk factors. The following commitments indicate they can

contribute:

Mirjam Pijnappels, Amsterdam Center for Ageing with a screening programmes

for nutritional intervention for elderly upon hospital admission

PROFOUND will have a work group on identification of persons at risk.

Regina Fertmann, Ministry for Health and Consumer Protection Hamburg is

capable of contributing, though availability of screening tools. .

D3.3 educational programme.

There is some overlap with E-NO-FALLS but the latter does foresee the creation of

databases in related to education and training of the workforce, but the education of the

workforce as such is not the area of work of the network. The following commitments

indicate capacity to contribute:

Regina Fertmann, Ministry for Health and Consumer Protection Hamburg can

contribute in identifying core topics for literature review and activities.

Emilia Ambrosini, TECHforLifE has started a Master on advanced technology

rehabilitation (EU wide master) and it would be interesting in including issues of

fall prevention.

D3.7 Network of research and educational organisations.

The University of Coimbra is deliverable leader, and the deliverable is an inventory of

best practices in Europe with respect to post graduate courses which focus on falls and

ageing population. The Deliverable leader will confer with Chris Todd on how to

coordinate the content of the deliverable.

Mayte Moreno, ISCIII-Investén, indicates that those parts of the work in Action Area 3

which are not part of the activities of PROFOUND and thus will not be taken on by the

consortium of the network, should be clearly identified. Currently the commitment and

organisations not involved in the PROFOUND network lack information on what is

their responsibility and what is expected from them.


10

Additionally, there is a lack of information on the activities in Action Area 3, and it is

not clear to many how to contribute to the tasks, the commitments thus request

templates with information on the activities and to provide input.

Need for an additional co-coordinator for AA3, need to reinforce the role of

commitments not related to PROFOUND network e.g. co-coordinator and/or

deliverable leaders. Chris Todd, University of Manchester and coordinator of

PROFOUND will be asked to provide a clear structure for communication and to clarify

the PROFOUND initiative and the links to the A2 initiative and request new

commitments to provide input for contributions. Better communication and information

is needed.

Henriette Hansen, Region of South Denmark, explains that a template is foreseen and

the idea is that those commitments who have signed up to contribute to Area 3 can also

participate in the meeting of PROFOUND.

Within Action Area 3, part of the commitments have submitted an application to the

Health programme focusing on fall prevention and pharmacy (covering A1 & A2

Action Group members). Project foresees training to be tested. Eastern European

partners are included in the proposal and could bridge to include commitments of these

countries in the Action Group.

Participants agree on the possible need in Action Area 3 to merge tasks and revise the

structure to reduce the many number of tasks currently described.

A question arises on if the training is only for workforce or also for elderly. Explanation

is given that there are different target groups in the care process, and although there is a

specific focus on the workforce, other end-users are also included.

10:45-12:15Action Area 4

The Action Area overview is presented by Bart Verkerke (SPRINTS) and Andreu

Català (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya ) (Bart Verkerke substitutes Ruud van de

Bilt only for the purpose of the meeting).

D4.1 Assessment model

The Action Area coordinators request those commitments that use assessment models to

indicate how they can contribute to the deliverable. It should be taken into account that

is concerns the assessment around fall prevention on cost effectiveness

The following commitments indicate they can contribute:

Activity on-going in NHS Scotland (Lynn Garrett) and in HSE Ireland (Irene

O'Byrne Maguire), and although the assessment models might not be specifically

around falls, these might be interesting to provide insight into the assessment of

implementation.

In the Netherlands some actions are on-going on assessment on product

development in research centres. A research group in Nijmegen is developing an

assessment tool (Headroom analysis), another tool already developed for early

screening of acceptance of innovative devices (AHP-model).


11

Maria José Martins da Costa Dias, Hospital de Luz Lisbon is working on the

predictive value of a specific scale of risk, some analysis on falls in hospital

Roberta Annicchiarico, Fondazione Sta Luzia can contribute on the assessment of

users in falls, elderly and neurological patients

Marina Lupari Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety North

Ireland can contribute

Henriette Hansen, MAST evaluation method has been developed bythe Region of

Southern Denmark and is being tested in different EU projects such as Renewing

Health and United for HealthLuisella Cianferotti, University of Florence can

contribute with assessment of patients after hip fracture: assessment on

neurocognitive impairments and falls

Isabella Springhetti, FMS-POLIMI - on-going work with respect to the prescription

unit and utility of devices

Alxandre Goswami Nandu, Medical University of Graz has tools available that can

prevent syncope, cost effectiveness of the tools is analysed

D4.2 Resource repository

- Eurosafe is in PROFOUND responsible for communication and dissemination

towards EU level organisations working on this level. Purpose is the work on local

level and ensure this gets embedded in EU wide programmes for fall prevention.

First step is to identify actors on national and EU level. The directory to be

developed is to identify the relevant organisation at EU level and their national

members.

- Identify their potential role, then questionnaire on the needs and demands of these

organisations is elaborated and a shortlist of main stakeholders for meetings for the

development of a joint strategy on what these organisations want to achieve in the

coming years.

- The deliverable also needs to identify stakeholders and good practice on local level

and here the contribution of the commitments is extremely relevant.

D4.3 Promotional events

Linda Davies from Ageing Well Wales and deliverable leader presents progress on D4.3

explaining the bid on the conference put in as main result of the deliverable.

The evaluation of the bid is expected June/July 2013

D4.4 – Online marketplace

Thematic networks foresee this activity in their work, and put out a request for

organisations or enterprises that have services of products that can be included in the

marketplace. Also technologies will be included, so also universities can contribute.

Presentation of Helena Fernandez, GRADIANT, on D4.4, also briefly the questionnaire

is presented

Request for all commitments to contribute to the deliverable D4.4. The following

commitments have agreed:

- Lynn Garrett, NHS Scotland, small businesses they work with will be asked to join

up, an internal market place is already available.

- Luca Palmerini, PROFITER – University of Bologna will invite SMEs from their

own network.


12

- Ana Maria Texeira, Ageing@Coimbra: University of Coimbra is working with

several companies in the area, and can also provide reference on market place

design and on how the products/services of the companies can be showcased.

The reviewed version of the questionnaire survey will be sent to all commitments.

Helena Fernandez, GRADIANT, will also send links to online marketplaces that can be

used as references..

The proposal to have a single portal where all the information and results are presented

(as comment before), the market place would be part of this portal. The First version of

the portal will be available internally before the end of 2013. Main language of the

portal will be English but one can think that part of the content is translated into

different languages. Medical Delta offers to help in structuring the portal.

D4.5 - Promotional package & D4.6 Portal

For this deliverable a Deliverable Leader is needed and a request goes out for someone

to step forward.

D4.6 Portal with a Community of Practice

E-NO-FALLS & PROFOUND will be deliverable leaders for D4.6. Name of the

persons need to be matched to the deliverable leaders.

Overarching all Action Areas

Conformation will be asked to each new commitment for contributions of the

deliverables, after which they will be contacted by the Action Area coordinator(s) and

Deliverable Leaders in order to discuss the commitment and how to fit its activities with

the existing activities and deliverables of the Action Group. If commitments have

problems fitting in the deliverables, they should contact members of the Coordination

Team.

13:30-14:00 Governance

Some of the communications tools and communication means have already been

discussed throughout the meeting and are reflected in the minutes.

The list of deliverable leaders with contact data will be provided soon, it is currently in

Dropbox but this list is not complete, and will be completed.

If commitments have doubts about contributions, or if they did not have indicated yet

where and how they will contribute, they should contact the deliverable leader of those

deliverables where they consider their contribution could be relevant. The Coordination

Team will give guidance to the Deliverable Leaders in this and all other processes

related to the elaboration of the deliverables.

In case a commitment does not receive any mails but is interested in a particular

deliverable, the commitment is to contact directly deliverable leader.

A cooperation tool is to be installed soon and A2 members will be informed by email.

In the beginning July the support contract of the EC will be resolved and from there

support for the A2 Action Group will be more intense.


13

Thematic networks should communicate directly both with Coordination Team and

Deliverable leaders.

New commitments received specification forms for indicating contributions to the

deliverables, in case of interest for a specific deliverable a commitment should indicate

this in the form and send the form back to the Coordination Team. It should be

considered a starting document, however the situation of contributions of a specific

commitment can change over time. The Specification form can be found on dropbox,

and the Coordination Team will insert the information in an overview table in excel, and

afterwards upload it on Google Doc and ask commitments to revise and confirm. Those

that did not sent in specification form need to do so ASAP.

As stated before, based upon the Specification Form, Deliverable Leaders will contact

the new commitments that have indicated either in the forms or during the meeting their

willingness to contribute to a specific deliverable.. The aim is to have the new

commitments started ASAP and in optimal conditions (coordination!) It is for this

reason it is vital ALL commitments fill in correctly the specification form. It is

recommended that commitments revise the specification form, in case additional

contributions have come up after having received the information from the meeting.

Concerning the existing complete list of commitments, contact persons and their emails:

in case of objections of circulating emails and contact data of people, inform the

Coordination Team, this should be asked to all contacts included in the A2 contact list

Memorandum of Understanding

Nick Guldemond, as Coordinator of the A2 Action Group, provides a short explanation

on the purpose of the MoU and what is means: It is a code of practice and not a legal

document and confirms in a more official status of the A2 Action Group for internal

purposes. At this stage most of first group of commitments have signed.

Existing commitments that did not yet sign the document, should do so ASAP and send

2 original paper copies, one to each of the addresses mentioned in the MoU.

The MoU will updated with the new member list.

All new commitment will receive in due time a mailing with context and clear

instructions on the signature process.

14:00-14:30 Monitoring framework

Geert Vandercraeynest, DG CONNECT/EC presents the progress corning the

monitoring of the action groups and initiatives as a whole and explains that the

monitoring framework is about measuring the impact of A2 actions not about

monitoring individual commitments. For each Action Group two representatives have

participated in the efforts to draft framework of outcome indicators. For A2 Chris Todd,

University of Manchester and Wim Rogmans, Eurosafe have participated. .


14

Work has focused on process indicators across all Action Groups and 106 responses

have been received to the questionnaire, these are currently being analysed.

Individual commitments are invited to provide information on their results in relation to

the A2 action plan (either indirect as a local/regional/national, independent action, or

direct as part of the implementation of the A2 action plan). This information is welcome

at [email protected]

Equally welcome are any results or progress on the development of indicators that

measure outcome in terms of the 6 defined outcome objectives of the Action Group,

coming from efforts that are either local/regional/national, independent actions or that

are part of the implementation of the A2 action plan. The aim is to take stock of what is

going on, also new commitments are invited to send results to the EC.

There is a contract with the Joint Research Center who will validate the tentative set of

outcome indicators and make baseline values based upon their own efforts. The JRC

will also develop a socio-econometric model to link outcome indicators with the triple

win and +2 Healthy Life Years objectives

14:45-15:15 Summary and follow-up actions

An EIP newsletter exists and commitments are encouraged to subscribe to it, for this

they need to register as user to the EIP website and subscribe, at the same time they get

access to the EIP market place..

Commitments are reminded to register in CIRCA to access all the final documents

related to the Action Group, instructions on how to register for CIRCA are on Dropbox

15:15-15:45 Future plans and meetings

Dates of next meetings/events:

1st of July Brussels – meeting for reference sites; STAR award ceremony.

25th

of November, Brussels – conference of partners, gathering of all partners of

EIPs across all Action Groups. Brings together all high level policymakers with

action group members, and results of the Action Groups are presented.

Ambient Assisted Living Forum Norrköping, Sweden, on September 24th to 26th

A conflict with A2 Action Group meeting is to be avoided and meeting should take

place before.

The next internal A2 Action Group Meeting foreseen for next September, where the aim

will be to streamline work on the deliverables in order to reach more concrete results,

and to identify a number of show case achievements for the partner conference of 25/11

and enable making the needed progress. The meeting will take the form of a series of

focussed workshops.

The venue by default is Brussels. The Medical University of Graz offers to have the

host the meeting venue, September or begin October are also possible. The venue of

choice is to be decided.”


15

The Coordination Team will send out an email with information about duration of the

meeting (approx. 2 days), and planning in such a way as to reduce number of nights. A

Doodle will be set up to agree on the final dates, and the final venue will then be

confirmed.

How to become an active commitment in the A2 Action Group (summary):

1. The new commitments are asked to definitively indicate to which deliverables they

intend to contribute and how by filling out the Specific form. This form is based on

the submission form, and although it is repeating the process, it is considered

relevant as after the meeting and knowing more about the Action Plan and the

Action Group one can make a well informed decision.

2. For those that were present in the meeting, their controbutions as indicated have

been recorded in the minutes and included in the presented excell matrix where

Deliverables are mapped against the Commitments.

3. Based upon the information from the Specific form in combination with the

contributions during the meeting, Deliverable leaders will contact directly each

Commitment that has indicated interest to contribute to the deliverables.

4. The contact list of commitments and of deliverables leaders is distributed to all

commitments.

An email will be send to all commitments indicating instructions and

including all relevant documents.
