The European Union is experiencing a process of significant demographic change as people live longer and healthier lives. Projections by Eurostat indicate a decline of about 6.8% in the number of people of working age by 2030; therefore, two people of working age will be needed to support one retired person.

With 2012 designated by the European Commission as the ‘European Year for Active Ageing’, this timely international symposium seeks to raise awareness, stimulate debate and trigger policy discussion around improving services for older people, enhancing their involvement in society and removing barriers between generations.
