Abstract
The overall objective of Age-It is to increase Italy’s contribution to research on ageing, making it a leader in European and global research and strategic value chains, in accordance with the objectives and priorities of the National Research Plan (NRP) 2021-2027. Applying a holistic, interdisciplinary and problem-solving approach, Age-It intends to overcome the fragmentation of different perspectives on ageing by involving a multiplicity of partners including research and educational institutions, care providers and civil society associations, business and industry. It includes actors from all public and private, profit and non-profit sectors, also paving the way for a reduction of time-to-market for value-added products and services.
