CO-ACT – Co-Designing Adaptive Care Transformations for Ageing Communities

Description of the granted funding

Europe's ageing population, rising healthcare costs, and workforce shortages strain health and care ecosystems. While effective healthy ageing interventions exist, their impact is often limited by implementation challenges. This project addresses these through context-specific, participatory, and scalable solutions, leveraging expert partners. Four work packages build on evidence-based interventions tested in Living Labs in Finland, Ireland, Portugal, and the Netherlands. Mapping local ecosystems guides adaptation and implementation. A solution repository is developed iteratively, with health equity impact assessments. A systems approach supports integration into structures and policies. A knowledge exchange platform promotes learning, best practices, and policy alignment. The project strengthens care for older people and supports more sustainable European health systems.
