An Australian roadmap for ICT research and development for ageing? Lessons from a European Union initiative

The Bridging Research in Ageing and ICT Development (BRAID) project has developed a comprehensive Research and Technological Development (RTD) roadmap for active ageing in European Union countries. This paper provides an overview of the BRAID project, including its methodological approach and outcomes, and suggests that a similar approach could be undertaken to consolidate research and development in relation to ICT and ageing in Australia.
