Overall project manager Interreg project SAIL (Stay Active and Independent for Longer)

• Jan 2018 - Mar 2019

Overall international project manager on behalf of the Lead Partner HZ University of Applied Sciences, specifically Research Centre Healty Region. The SAIL overall objective is to stimulate active ageing and longer independent living by identifying new ways of helping people remain independent for longer, more selfreliant and less dependent on traditional health care and social care services. Different from the current, mono disciplinary approach, SAIL will introduce a social innovation process of cocreation to identify new partnerships and opportunities, especially in unlikely combinations between different sectors, to develop new, sustainable business and service models that encourage active ageing.10 pilots within one of the themes 'movement and sports' or 'wellbeing and food' will start in the partner regions of the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Through the pilot activities the elderly will become more active, healthy and independent but also coached in social innovation processes, contributing to an increased indepedence and a durable process. The joint creation and monitoring of the pilots and the resulting feasibility analysis will ensure the robustness of the solutions, i.e. their contribution to healthy ageing and achieving viable business and service models but also pave the way for widerscale implementation.
