Working Groups
Sheld-on working groups description
During the 1st and 2nd period of the action (Nov 2017-April 2019) each partner involved in this initiative participated in the activities related to at least one Working Group from WG1, WG2 and/or WG3 according to their background, expertise and interests. Participants in each Working Group involving entities with different expertise, forming multidisciplinary groups of experts. These Working Groups were designed to remove the traditional barriers to integrated and systemic solutions addressed by this Action that target the industry as a whole. Obtained outputs from these WGs have feed WG4, a transdisciplinary Working Group active since May 2019 leading to new concepts for ageing well.
All Working Groups will run during the four years of this COST Action. Results needed for WG4 were prepared by WG1, WG2, and WG3 and delivered at the end of the 2nd period. During the forthcoming periods of the action, WG1, WG2 and WG3 will continue their activities updating the state of the art and making progress beyond the networking.
