​​The aim of this Conference is to direct future policy and practice innovation to secure inclusive ageing experiences for all older people as a part of a strong social Europe. It will present new, evidence-based policy messages targeting major participation domains: civic; social; economic; services; and neighbourhoods and communities. The Conference will also present a roadmap for research and policy collaboration at all levels that advances the capacity of our societies to manage demographic ageing in a fair and just manner. The Conference which is a culmination of the four-year work programme of the ROSEnet Cost Action, – Reducing old-Age Social Exclusion, should eventually inform the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights in policy initiatives targeting inclusion of older persons.
