OpenEuropean CommissionEU

Rethinking long-term care policy in the face of EU demographic shifts is a European Commission research call that funds EUR 3.75 million research consortia evaluating and redesigning long-term care policy across EU member states as demand rises through 2070, requiring projections of long-term care needs, supply and public funding costs for at least 15 EU member states. The Joint Research Centre ma…

This topic funds research evaluating how well existing national and regional long-term care policies meet current needs for affordable, accessible, high-quality care, against a care workforce that is itself ageing and shrinking. It wants robust projections of long-term care needs, supply and public funding costs through 2070 for at least 15 EU member states, plus analysis of innovative policy mixes including digital and AI-based solutions.
