Ageing@Work Project

By 2030, workers aged 55-64 will make 30% or more of the workforce in many countries. According to WHO, about 30% of men and women in the age group of 50-64 years are considered to need urgent adjustments at work due to health problems related e.g. to musculoskeletal and mental disorders, to prevent the risk of early retirement and work disability. Additionally, the industry is changing fast and new technologies are introduced every day, with ageing workers needing to adapt to new technolgies and new processes. To tackle the abovementioned challenges, Ageing@Work -a three year EU-funded HORIZON 2020 project- aims to develop a series of highly adaptive, personalized ICT tools for the ageing workers' working and living environments, to allow them to remain healthy, active and productive for longer.
