- Developing indicators and impact assessment methodologies on ICT for Ageing Well - Results and major findings of the Exploratory Workshop held on 19 October 2009
-
8 January 2010
The workshop was the opportunity for an initial set of possible common indicators stemming from the ongoing projects and pilots work to be analysed; ground-rules for constructing statistically significant impact measurement methodologies in this field were discussed and initial recommendations and guidelines for comparable future impact measurements arose from an interactive brainstorming and discussion amongst the participants. The results are to be further taken up by a follow-up work in a form of a repository of existing relevant documents to serve as background for further discussions and intensified and structured best practice exchange. The purpose is to develop a common framework for arriving at solid and comparable evidence to facilitate policy decisions and further investment for wide deployment and uptake of solutions. An ePractice forum has been set-up, as a place to exchange further views, approaches, documentation, with the aim to reach a structured and shared set of indicators and assessment methodologies, ensuring reliability and comparability of assessments at EU level.
