Strategy for Deployment of Integrated Healthy Aging Regions Based Upon an Evidence-Based Regional Ecosystem—The Styria Model

“…For this purpose, the main results of the literature research, expert interviews and focus group discussions were outlined and concrete recommendations were developed ( Table 1). The emphasis was put on how well the framework for action for the reference site Styria matched the criteria launched by the reference site collaborative network (RSCN) (5,6). This final conclusive methodological step was conducted over 4 months.…”

“…Several calls for individual partner and regional commitments have been launched. To date, the EU has awarded 77 European regions the status of “reference sites for active and healthy aging” ( 4 ), which are coordinated and deployed under the umbrella of the Reference Site Collaborative Network (RSCN) ( 5 ). Reference Sites (RS) are “ecosystems which comprise various players (including regional and/or local government authorities, cities, hospitals/care organizations, industry, SMEs and/or start-ups, research and innovation organizations including universities and civil society), that jointly implement a comprehensive, innovation-based approach to active and healthy aging, and can give evidence and concrete illustrations of the impact of such approaches on the ground” ( 5 , 6 ).…”
