9. JPI “More Years, Better Lives: The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change” 9 In the course of the Commission Evaluation of JPIs, the JPI Secretariat has prepared a status report on the JPI for the Commission. This report is based on the available documents and activities within the JPI and is also available in the internal section of the JPI website. Furthermore, the GA members have provided Letters of Commitment to the European Commission. The commitment letters of France, the Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland are still missing. The general feedback of the EC underlines that the substantial advancement of the initiative is recognised. The JPI-MYBL marks the forefront of this phase’ initiatives to be approved in 2011. 4. European Commission Evaluation of the JPI MYBL

10. JPI “More Years, Better Lives: The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change” 10 The EIP has established three working groups that will contribute to the general “Strategic Implementation Plan”. The EIP-Working Groups are as outlined at the 2 nd Sherpa Meeting on 16th of May: 1.Innovation in awareness, prevention & early diagnosis (1 st Meeting on 20/21 June) 2.Innovation in care & cure (1 st Meeting on 23/24 June) 3.Innovation in independent living & ageing (1 st Meeting 15 June) The JPI participates in all EIP WG due to thematic and political reasons (Troika members, JPI-secretariat plus additional experts from the GA). 5. JPI-MYBL and the EIP-AHA

11. JPI “More Years, Better Lives: The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change” 11 A Memorandum of Understanding between ERA-AGE/FUTURAGE and the JPI MYBL could be signed. The work of the WGs of the JPI takes into account the results from ERA-Age and FUTURAGE and aims at identifying complementary topics (sharpening of the JPI profile). There is a certain personal overlap between ERA-Age/FUTURAGE and the JPI-WGs that ensures thematic interchange. Prof. Alan Walker (Sheffield, Leader of ERA-AGE/FUTURAGE) might be nominated as external expert for the SAB to have some formal linkage. 5. Cooperation with ERA-Age and FUTURAGE:

JPI “More Years, Better Lives: The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change” 12 Procedures and preliminary internal organisation of your Working Group Enlargement of the Working Group Thematic development and sharpening of profile towards a Strategic Research Agenda 6. Current Working Group activities Main tasks for the first meetings of the Working Groups were/are:

13. JPI “More Years, Better Lives: The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change” 13 First meeting on 26 th of May 2011 in Berlin. 14 experts +2 GA-representatives + secretariat. In order to profile the thematic perspective of the Working Group on “Health & Performance”, it was suggested to define a “common ground” that provides a tangible European added value and that integrates the large variety of interdisciplinary knowledge and diversity. Based on the input provided by the Vision Paper of the JPI and on additional remarks from the experts and input from FUTURAGE etc., the general setting for the common thematic perspective of the Working Group was formulated as follows: Disparities in ageing in relation to health and functioning Promotion of functioning (ways of compensation) Plasticity: Translation of basic biology into human ageing, life course studies A task force consisting of Prof. Rudi G.J. Westendorp, Prof. Taina Rantanen and Prof. Emily Grundy will elaborate a 6 page seed paper in order to further outline the thematic concept of the Working Group. Next meeting in September/October in Berlin. Health & Performance

14. JPI “More Years, Better Lives: The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change” 14 First meeting on 31 st of May 2011 in Berlin. 3 experts + 1 GA-representatives + secretariat. The working group came to the conclusion that its name “Education& Learning” does not cover the whole picture of research topics which are important under the demographic change perspective and decides to rename itself as ‘Learning& Wellbeing’. It was agreed that the definition of the concepts “learning” and “wellbeing” would be a good starting point to come up with some research questions. Three research subfields were defined: Learning at the end of working life (impact on learning on labour capacities) Learning at the 3rd age (longer educational life for what purpose?) Learning at the end of life (management of the heritage, transfer of values to the next generation). Prof. Stephen McNair will prepare a first rough draft on the main issues concerning the subfields of research mentioned above. The next meeting of the working group is scheduled in Berlin in September/October 2011. Education & Learning

15. JPI “More Years, Better Lives: The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change” 15 First meeting on 8 th of June 2011 in Berlin. 7 experts + 1 GA-representatives + secretariat. Joint concern of the WG was agreed to reveal “blind spots” inside the discourse and scientific research on labour productivity affected by demographic change. Core topics identified to be the focus for future work on work & productivity: Levels from macro to micro: societal, policy, institutional, organization (e.g. work context), individual. Cross-cut concerns for future discussion/research: What evidence/data exists? Are there blind spots of missing data? What about monitoring of policies and societal developments etc.? Specific Thematic Clusters. Prof. Paulien Bongers structures a mapping of the areas of interest and sends it to the WG members. The next meeting of the working group is scheduled in Berlin in October 2011. Two additional experts should be integrated in the WG. Work & Productivity
