Europejskie Partnerstwo Innowacji na rzecz Aktywnego i Zdrowego Starzenia się (EIP on AHA)– jakie szanse stwarza polskim naukowcom i instytucjom
The oportunities that the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing provides to Polish scientists and institutions

Summary/Abstract: Europe is facing great social and economic challenges now, being a result of the ageing process progressing faster than ever. This, however, might be perceived also as an opportunity for innovation, as well as an additional impulse for the so-called “Silver Economy”. To address these new needs and opportunities, the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) was initiated by the European Commission in 2012. After three years of its activity, it has proved to be a strong movement of European stakeholders committed to innovation, with its overarching target to increase the average healthy lifespan by two years by 2020. The ‘Triple Win’ strategy for Europe is based on the concepts of enabling the EU citizens to lead healthy, active and independent lives while ageing, improving the sustainability and efficiency of social and health care systems, and boosting and improving the competitiveness of markets for innovative products and services.Now, the EIP on AHA opens new calls that enable new stakeholders to become partners of this collaboration. This provides a unique opportunity to Polish institutions, as well as scientists. In order to help them use this opportunity efficiently, the history, aims, structure and achievements of the EIP on AHA are shortly described in this paper.
