Independent Living support Functions
for the Elderly (IN-LIFE) is a 3 year multidisciplinary European project that
is funded by Horizon 2020. The aim of IN-LIFE is to prolong and support
independent living for people with cognitive impairment through personalised
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services. Six European sites are
involved; Greece, Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden, Sheffield is the
only UK site.
In March I travelled to Brussels to
represent the University of Sheffield site in the first annual review of the
IN-LIFE project to the European Commission. The review board required
justification from the IN-LIFE consortium regarding the project progress at
this crucial 12 month milestone.
Ultimately the review board were
impressed and the European Commission provided positive feedback as IN-LIFE
enters its second year. If you would like more information regarding IN-LIFE please
