4. European Commission Evaluation of the JPI MYBL
• 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.

5. JPI-MYBL and the EIP-AHA
• 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 2nd Sherpa Meeting on 16th of May:
1. Innovation in awareness, prevention & early diagnosis (1st
Meeting on 20/21 June)
2. Innovation in care & cure (1st Meeting on 23/24 June)
3. Innovation in independent living & ageing (1st 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. Cooperation with ERA-Age and FUTURAGE:
• 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.

Main tasks for the first meetings of the Working Groups were/are:
Procedures and preliminary internal
organisation of your Working Group
Enlargement of the Working Group
Thematic development and sharpening of
profile towards a Strategic Research

JPI “More Years, Better Lives:
The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change”
Health & Performance
•
First meeting on 26th 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.
13
JPI “More Years, Better Lives:
The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change”
Education & Learning
•
First meeting on 31st 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.
14
JPI “More Years, Better Lives:
The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change”
Work & Productivity
•
First meeting on 8th 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.
