Aim of the joint call The European Research Area in Ageing (ERA-AGE 2) has launched Europe’s first joint research programme in the ageing field by publishing a call for multidisciplinary research applications on “Active and Healthy Ageing Across the Life Course”. The call is dedicated to the achievement of enhanced and healthy ageing and, in particular, to address the major priority established by the AHAIP (Active and Healthy Ageing Innovation Partnership) of a 2 year increase in healthy life expectancy in the European Union by 2020. Thirteen funders in nine countries have committed €4.3 million to fund research projects of up to three years. This is Europe’s first joint call for ageing research and follows the second round of ERA-AGE’s post-doctoral fellowship programme, FLARE (Future Leaders of Ageing Research in Europe). Applications are invited from multidisciplinary research groups representing 3 to 5 funding countries. Stage-one pre-proposals can be submitted between 1 June 2011
Type of joint call Two Stages - Call with pre-proposals and full proposals submissions
