Older Co-Creators

Amplifying Older People’s Voices in Participatory Research

Description

The Older Co-Creators group brings together older adults from diverse backgrounds who actively contribute their lived experiences, knowledge, and perspectives to participatory ageing research. As equal partners within PAAR-Net, they help shape research priorities, dissemination activities, and discussions on meaningful participation in later life. Through dialogue, collaboration, and co-production, the group aims to ensure that older people’s voices remain central in research, policy, and practice.

Cost

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

COST Action CA22167

There is a significant international commitment to give non-academics a greater role in science to help deliver impactful research and realise the European vision of science for the people, by the people. To support this commitment, the PAAR-net COST Action focuses on knowledge co-production, labelled here as participatory approaches, in research, policymaking and practice.
