The reference site collaborative network of the european innovation partnership on active and healthy ageing

Seventy four Reference Sites of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) have been recognised by the European Commission in 2016 for their commitment to excellence in investing and scaling up innovative solutions for active and healthy ageing. The Reference Site Collaborative Network (RSCN) brings together the EIP on AHA Reference Sites awarded by the European Commission, and Candidate Reference Sites into a single forum. The overarching goals are to promote cooperation, share and transfer good practice and solutions in the development and scaling up of health and care strategies, policies and service delivery models, while at the same time supporting the action groups in their work. The RSCN aspires to be recognized by the EU Commission as the principal forum and authority representing all EIP on AHA Reference Sites. The RSCN will contribute to achieve the goals of the EIP on AHA by improving health and care outcomes for citizens across Europe, and the development of sustainable economic growth and the creation of jobs

Pilot Sample profile – V1 Dissemination Level Public Status Final

The aim of this public deliverable is to provide its readers with a clear insight on themethodology and organisational structure of the Go-Lab Pilot and the selection process ofthe participating Go-Lab Pilot Schools. While the process was launched at the end of 2013,collaboration with teachers has already started from September 2013 in preparation of theinitial project activities. As the result of these preparation activities, 85 schools have beenpre-selected by the National Coordinators already in this early phase. After the launch of theCall for Go-Lab Pilot Schools, the number of applications has reached more than 400schools in all pilot countries.The selection of Pilot Schools to participate in the Go-Lab implementation activities is theresult of a carefully organised selection process. The final procedures and selection criteriaof the Pilot Schools described in this document is the result of a series of meetings with thetop management and the National Coordinators of the Go-Lab project. The reaction of theschool and teachers communities around Europe and beyond has been very encouragingproviding us with great numbers and a pool of motivated teachers that will assist us in thefurther development of the Go-Lab interventions.Section 2 of this deliverable “Organisation of Go-Lab Pilot activities” represents the aims andgoals of these activities as well as organisation of work within the Go-Lab Consortium.In Section 3 “Pilot Phase A: methodology”, we are looking into the tasks that the selectedPilot Schools were asked to carry out as well as the selection criteria the consortium definedrelated to both schools and teachers. The organisation and dissemination of the Call for GoLabPilot Schools is also extensively explained, while information is also provided regardingthe first implementation steps and the ways teachers/schools have been invited to contributeto the whole process.In Section 4 “Pilot Phase A: selected schools”, the full lists of the selected Pilot Schools percountry are provided. In the majority of countries the National Coordinators have decided toinvolve more teachers than the initial plan has foreseen, so a total on 154 teachers areparticipating in Phase A, in place of 100.In Section 5 “Pilot Schools sample profiles” and in the form of good practice, we can see theprofiles of thirty Go-Lab Pilot Schools including information about their infrastructure andteachers’ characteristics. All information and insights have been provided by the PilotSchools and their teachers
