The objective of the Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme (AAL JP) is to enhance the quality of life of older people and strengthen the industrial base in Europe through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The most important activity of the AAL Joint Programme is the regular publication of calls for proposals for research, development and innovation projects in the field of ICT for Active and Healthy Ageing. The programme co-funds projects within the user-driven-innovation paradigms between minimum three partners from AAL JP Partner States. The organization also supports project activities and organizes the annual Forum to showcase all solutions to the European audience.
The programme is a so-called article 185 of the TFEU, which is therefore financed by the European Commission and the 22 Countries that constitute the partner states of this Joint Programme: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The AAL JP is initially set up for a duration of 6 years, from 2008 to 2013. The programme's planned total budget is 700 M€, of which approx. 50% is public funding - from the AAL Partner States and the European Commission - and approx. 50% is private funding from participating organisations.
