Promotion of healthy ageing, welfare and social security

The overarching goal of the project is to engage three higher educational establishments – Riga Stradiņš University (RSU), University of Liechtenstein (UL) and University of Iceland (UI) in a two and half-year collaboration project on healthy ageing, welfare and social security for older persons. The demographic tendencies and, consequently, the RIS3 priorities set for the coming years, include engagement of older persons in the labour market, active social life, and promotion of healthy lifestyles. Exchange of knowledge, stretching from multi-domestic to global strategies, that could help to reduce years with disability, achieve a good quality of life and a well-developed social security, could be beneficial for all participating countries.
