This project is being carried out with a contribution from the European programme Interreg Euregio Maas-Rhine, which promotes innovation, renewable energy, a healthy environment and the labour market through cross-border projects.

This project aims to support and strengthen medical research, technological development and innovation in the field of chronic age-related diseases. Within the EMR, a cross-border consortium of knowledge institutions and companies has been formed. This consortium wants to develop cross-border knowledge platforms for the sharing and dissemination of knowledge. Most activities within this project have a very specific medical-scientific focus. The partners of this project aim to innovate and validate the knowledge gathered in the framework of these activities. The results of this project should lead to lower costs in healthcare. The partners have called for the development of an open technological platform for sharing knowledge in the field of healthy ageing.
