Programme
With insight presented by project partners from North West Europe, as well as UK thought leaders, the Home Sweet Home seminar will examine initial findings of the
I-stay@home research and explore the wider European context, including:
- the policy agenda in the UK and Europe for ICT and ageing and disabled people
- what we learned from talking to tenants - hopes, fears and dreams
- the suppliers viewpoint, what's available and how a European approach can help.
