AAL Vision, Basic ideas

• To be distinguished
• Joint Programme new scheme of cooperation
  between European States (not only EU Member
  States) with nat. funding based on national
  guidelines with an Assoc. as legal carrier body.
  This is a political vision
• EC is cofunding AAL (based on Art. 169
  Codecision), not directly integrated in the JP.
• The actual working theme ICT for elderly people
  living at home(Ambiant Assisted Living)Position
  between FP7 and CIP 2-3 years to market
• Synergies on European level via direct
  cooperation of nat. programmes

3
AAL EC funding based on Art. 169

• AAL has one of the strongest Europ. Mandates
  possible Codecision (Parliament Council)
• AAL169 allowing the Community (EC) to participate
  in (and cofinance) a cooperation of European
  States
• This NOT a contradiction to an important role of
  end users, markets, industry, science etc. etc.
• ?in the long run one of the most important parts
  of AAL community building is the initialisation
  of the
• concrete dialogue between MS on a high
  level(First step WG content defining the Calls)

• Where is the Centre of Gravity of the
  proposals?
• On the D (Development), or still on the R
  (Research).
• Does the short time to market requirement reflect
  to the consortium composition?
• Will there be at the end of the project realistic
  trial set ups, to demonstrate not only the
  scientific and organizational viability, but also
  (and MAINLY), the END-USER ACCEPTANCE and the
  COMMERCIAL VIABILITY of the products/ services to
  be developed by the project.
