INNOVAGE PROJECT: matching more innovative partners (Mentoring Group) with less innovative (Learning Group) to take advantage of the potential of the indipendent living and relative eco-innovation solutions in each region 15 Good Practices were identified at the beginning of the INNOVAGE project. Some of them were chosen to be transferred into the learning group regions through the Pilot Actions of the project. The INNOVAGE Mentoring Group has supported the Learning Group during this transfer process, built on the basis of several study visits, workshops and training sessions, among other activities.
OTHER RESULTS: • Good Practice Catalogue • 6 Workshops open to key innovation stakeholders • 5 Study Visits to the mentor group organizations to directly know a cluster and to capitalize their organization in the learning group countries.
• 3 Training Sessions to support policymakers to better understand their requirements and facilitating the transfer of good practices. • 15 Innohubs have been strategically located at the INNOVAge partners’ headquarters to coordinate stakeholders and actions related to eco innovation applied to elderly independent living and smart home.
