- https://www.interregeurope.eu/acsell/ (EN), TAAFE - Interreg Alpine Space (EN) | Involves ten partners in Alpine areas with the aim to set up a framework for developing an age-friendly environment in the Alpine Space (AS). TAAFE will enrich the AFE concept going from active ageing to active citizenship by applying co-creation methods involving local older people since the first steps of the project. The innovative approach is conducted by a local community team that build ground for implementation of working plans in the pilot areas and enables knowledge transfer among partners and towards other municipalities as an element of a permanent Alpine network for age friendly communities. Recommendations for up-scaling the participatory approach and services to other Alpine municipalities will be developed.

Contribution to wider strategies and policies:
- EuropeanGreenDeal Implementing novel models for the provision of e-care and e-health proactive care services can help significantly to reduce emissions from vehicles related to the delivery of services: proactive remote health models are likely to promote better health and less need for healthcare workers to move to remote areas thus reducing carbon fossil consumption and emissions. Relying on technologies available on the market will also allow the delivery of innovative solutions without consuming new resources.
- TerritorialAgenda2030 The overall analysis from pilot implementations will contribute to tackling the needs and the features of different areas of the CE region, fostering more than just development. This can be achieved by delivering a model capable of showing how digital and remote access to care services can reduce inequalities between people and places. Delivering a tested implementation manual and respective policy recommendations will help to scale up the uptake of innovative care and health solutions, thus realising the potential of a wide cross-border and regional cooperation.
- Making services more accessible across cross-border regions is expected to deliver a scalable solution capable of realising its potential and capable of facing growing social challenges.
- EUStrategyDanubeRegion Project activities and outputs will be a potential contribution to the PA 10 of the EUSDR (Institutional capacities & cooperation, priorities 1.1 and 1.2.). Digitalisation of access to health care and services through ICT can promote a more efficient delivery of related services and opportunities. At the same time the outputs and knowledge delivered from the project will be a fruitful source to understand key actions and actors to co-design actions and policies for digitalisation of services.
- EUStrategyBalticSeaRegion Outputs of the project are expected to contribute significantly to the EUSBSR PA Health and PA Innovation by both creating a methodology capable of supporting and promoting proactive healthy ageing and counteracting the negative effects of demographic change. Through the local implementation of the model, it will be possible to shape and promote policies aiming at deploying innovative home care system adaptations, thus reducing the societal costs of the ageing population through adaptation.
- EUStrategyAlpineRegion The outcomes of the project will contribute to developing and implementing care-related innovative Service of General Interest, especially in remote, rural and less developed areas, where services are less available and the impact of the ageing population and its related needs is stronger. The project outputs will contribute to reducing disparities in these regions, making service accessible, putting the users and their needs at the centre, improving quality of life in CE countries.
- Other The cross-border, policy-specific and context-based approach to the delivery of the proactive care model is connected with the ESPON 2030 TAP on a “Perspective for all people and places”, by addressing social inequalities, vulnerabilities related to existing social challenges, disparities and service availability also in remote, rural, peripheral and distant areas of the CE initiative.
- Other The implementation manual for the implementation of proactive-digital models is also in line with the Cohesion Policy objectives (21-27) a more Social and Inclusive Europe and a Europe closer to citizens, by creating concrete opportunities to act at territorial level in order to make core services available also in less connected regions, thus promoting better quality of life.
- Other Since the outputs produced by the project are meant to strengthen the capacity of territorial authorities and policy makers to uptake and scale up digital care and health solutions also through staff training and need analysis of institutions, results from the project are expected to be in line with SO3 of the WHO Global strategy on digital health. The use of solutions that can be deployed in different areas, including rural and remote, makes the project’s outputs and activities also in line with SO4.
