Summary
FUTURAGE has responsibility for creating the definitive Road Map for Ageing Research which is intended to guide European research in this field over the next 10-15 years.
This workshop was intended for national and regional research policy makers and funders to have an opportunity to review and comment on the draft Road Map.
The workshop included presentations from the key priority areas of the draft Road Map and opportunities for both focused and open discussion.
The draft Road Map was developed during six distinct stages of consultation with member states, research funders, policy makers, scientists and end users since the project began in September 2009.
The Road Map was launched at a major European conference in Brussels in autumn 2011.
