This webinar discussion looks at the state of healthy ageing and prevention across Europe.

This event was chaired by Patrick Swain, Research and Development Manager at ILC-UK and coordinator of the ILC Europe Network. Speakers:

  • Dr Katerina Machacova, Director, ILC-Czech Republic
  • Prof A. Mark Clarfield, President, ILC-Israel
  • Arunima Himawan, Senior Health Research Lead, ILC-UK
  • Sophie Schmitt, Director General, Seniosphère Conseil
  • Dr Daniela Weber, Research Scholar, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis
  • Radu Ganescu, President, Coalition of Patients’ Organizations with Chronic Diseases in Romania
  • Prof Norah Keating, Social Gerontologist, University of Alberta

In this webinar, we used ILC-UK’s Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index to explore what health and wellbeing looks like in different European countries.

This webinar will inform a policy document to advocate better commitments from European policymakers on healthy ageing and prevention. With less than a year to go until the European Parliament elections, we want to highlight the key challenges and opportunities to politicians in Brussels and beyond.
