Processes and methodology have been defined conjointly by all partners - template for registration form of companies, evaluation criteria to select them, methodology to test products, etc. 5 calls for projects have also been launched to select products to be tested with panels of elderly in the 4 countries through our Accelerator. 34 companies have been selected via those 5 calls for projects.
