Limoges: Ageing + dependency

12.04.2011 - von W. Korte

We would like to herewith inform you about two conferences in the area of Active Ageing which may find your interest. Further details can be obtained from the Silver Economy Network of European Regions website: www.silvereconomy-europe.org

1) Ageing and dependency: which economic model should we opt for?
Conference organised by the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations at the Regional Council of Limousin on the 12th of April 2011, 08:45-17:00
The Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, the Regional Council and Autonom'Lab invite national and European stakeholders to attend this event in Limoges. The conference will focus on projects and policies initiated in Limousin - a French region leading an active policy towards ageing population. The conference will start with an overview of regional innovative strategies for elderly people (health services, self-health management). One shall seek to answer the following questions: does the current economic model effectively respond to elderly people needs? Should we instead think of another economic model?

Henry Nogues (Professor of Economics at the University of Nantes), Michèle Debonneuil (President of the ANSP Scientific Committee - the National Agency for Supportive Services and Care) and Didier Duplan (Assistant Director of the charity network ADESSADOMICILE) will make a series of presentations to launch the debate. They will analyse the main problems that are encountered by elderly service providers. Two round-tables will take place in the afternoon. The first one will deal with economic models induced by key actors at local level. The second one will present initiatives and experimental tools that are both economically efficient and adapted to the needs of elderly people.

Stéphane Soyez (Director of Autonom'Lab) and Michel Laforcade (Director of the Regional Health Agency -ARS) will close the debate.
