SUMMARY:WG3 Technology and Innovation Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Stories from the Living Lab: Advancing digital health literacy to empowering older adults\nHealthcare is becoming increasingly digital. During this webinar\, Leen will show how LiCalab (a Flemish health care living lab) empowers older people in digital health literacy and how older people were involved in the development of an educational package on online health apps. Leen will talk about the approach\, some members of LiCalab’s user panel will share their experiences\, and there will be plenty of opportunities for interaction and mutual learning. \nLeen holds a master’s degree in communication science and a master’s degree in Cultural Studies. In 2013\, Leen joined the LiCalab team at Thomas More University of Applied Sciences as panel manager. Her role within the team is to manage and guide the panel of more than 350 citizens\, care organisa6ons and caregivers. She supervises the Living Lab activities: from recruitment\, scenario writing\, guiding group discussions and real life tests through the processing the results. Leen champions Human Centered Design and she strongly believes in the participatory approach to healthcare innovation.

SUMMARY:PAAR-Net Symposia at IAGG 2026: Advancing Participatory Research with Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:PAAR-Net Symposia at IAGG 2026: Advancing Participatory Research with Older Adults \nPAAR-Net is pleased to announce that two symposia developed within the network have been accepted for presentation at the 23rd World Congress of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG 2026) in Amsterdam. This is an important achievement for the Action\, as it provides an international platform to showcase the collaborative work of PAAR-Net members and to further advance participatory approaches with older adults across research\, policy\, and practice. \nAs one of the major global events in the field of ageing and gerontology\, IAGG offers a valuable opportunity for dialogue\, exchange\, and visibility. The acceptance of these two symposia highlights the strength of PAAR-Net’s transnational and interdisciplinary collaborations\, as well as the growing relevance of participatory research in addressing key social\, ethical\, and methodological questions in later life. The accepted sessions focus on both the conceptual foundations of participatory research and its application in areas such as care\, social innovation\, and inequalities. \nSymposium 1 \nEthics and Methodologies of Participatory Research with Older Adults \nDate: 5 July 2026 \nTime: 14:30–16:00 \nLocation: Emerald Room & Lounge \nFormat: Hybrid session \nChairs: \nProf. Anna Urbaniak\, Jagiellonian University\, Kraków\, Poland \nTamar Yellon\, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, Israel \nThis symposium addresses the ethical\, conceptual\, and methodological foundations of participatory research with older adults. Participatory approaches have increasingly been recognised as transformative within ageing studies because they challenge traditional hierarchies in knowledge production and place older adults’ perspectives\, agency\, and lived experiences at the centre of the research process. At the same time\, participatory practices remain diverse and fragmented\, with different understandings of what participation means\, how ethical quality should be assessed\, and how co-research standards can be developed across settings. \nThe symposium brings together a set of contributions that examine these questions from complementary angles. It explores conceptual diversity in participatory work with older adults\, ethical and quality standards in transnational contexts\, the development of ethical criteria through Delphi methodology\, reflexivity in participatory research processes\, and practical tools for supporting the full and meaningful involvement of older adults. \nContributions \nParticipatory research with older adults: the example of Older Adult Co-creators \nAnnette Bilfeldt (Roskilde University\, Denmark) \nClaudio Bolzman (University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland\, Switzerland) \nQuality and ethical standards in participatory research with older adults – a transnational perspective of older co-creators \nIveta Cirule (Project Net\, Latvia) \nThibauld Moulaert (Université Grenoble Alpes\, France) \nMatthias Drilling (ZHAW School of Social Work\, Switzerland) \nNilufer Korkmaz (Akdeniz University\, Turkey) \nTamar Yellon (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, Israel) \nIrena Zemaitaityte (Mykolas Romeris University\, Lithuania) \nEthical Quality Criteria for Older Adult Participatory Practice: A Delphi Study \nMehmet Korkmaz (Yozgat Bozok University\, Turkey) \nAntoine Langeard (Université de Caen Normandie\, France) \nİlknur Aydın Avci (Ondokuz Mayıs University\, Turkey) \nJolanta Pivorienė (Mykolas Romeris University\, Lithuania) \nDavide Lucantoni (Polytechnic University of Marche\, Italy) \nTamar Yellon (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, Israel) \nRodrigo Serrat (University of Barcelona\, Spain) \nGražina Rapolienė (Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences\, Lithuania) \nAna Patricia Hilario (Universidade de Lisboa\, Portugal) \nKübra Yenel (Manisa Celal Bayar University\, Turkey) \nBarbara Groot (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\, Netherlands) \nParticipatory Research with Older Adults: Twisting the Reflexive Rubik’s Cube \nSandra Staudacher (University of Basel\, Switzerland) \nNora Peduzzi (University of Basel\, Switzerland) \nKatja Jungo (University of Basel\, Switzerland) \nThibauld Moulaert (Université Grenoble Alpes\, France) \nAnna Urbaniak (Jagiellonian University\, Poland) \nCarlo Fabian (University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland\, Switzerland) \nBarbara Groot-Sluijs (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\, Netherlands) \nHeidi Kaspar (Bern University of Applied Sciences\, Switzerland) \nTools to support the full and meaningful involvement of older adults in participatory research \nIsabelle Tournier (Université de Montpellier Paul-Valéry\, France) \nTereza Menšíková (Masaryk University\, Czech Republic) \nSarah Campbell (Manchester Metropolitan University\, United Kingdom) \nDiane Seddon (Bangor University\, United Kingdom) \nSymposium 2 \nParticipation\, Care\, and Social Innovation Across Borders \nDate: 6 July 2026 \nTime: 17:15–18:45 \nLocation: G108 \nType: Symposium \nChairs: \nProf. Anna Urbaniak\, Jagiellonian University\, Kraków\, Poland \nAnnette Bilfeldt\, Roskilde University\, Denmark \nOlder adults’ lived experiences are profoundly shaped by migration\, family change\, and welfare systems. This symposium explores how participatory research can illuminate these complexities and contribute to more inclusive and responsive approaches in care and social innovation. \nBringing together contributions from diverse geographical and social contexts\, the session examines co-creation\, care transitions\, transnational family dynamics\, and sustainability in later life. Through participatory ethnography\, co-production\, and narrative-based research\, it highlights both the agency of older adults and the structural inequalities they encounter. \nContributions \nCo-creating with older adults: Social innovation and transnational knowledge exchange among creative actors in Portugal\, UK and Denmark \nJohn Andersen (Roskilde University\, Denmark) \nAnnette Bilfeldt (Roskilde University\, Denmark) \nSarah Campbell (Manchester Metropolitan University\, United Kingdom) \nMário Rui André (Lisbon City of All Ages\, Portugal) \nArlind Reuter (Lund University\, Sweden) \nMichael Dorph Jensen (Municipality of Gladsaxe\, Denmark) \nAgeing in Place\, Caring at a Distance: Lived Realities of Stay-Behind Parents \nĽubica Voľanská (Slovak Academy of Sciences\, Slovakia) \nSoňa G. Lutherová (Slovak Academy of Sciences\, Slovakia) \nReclaiming Identity: Co-Production with Unpaid Carers During Carer Transitions \nMaria Cheshire-Allen (Swansea University\, United Kingdom) \nAelwyn Williams (Swansea University\, United Kingdom) \nSustainability in later life: Insights from micro-stories of older people in Germany and Ireland \nGrit Höppner (Catholic University of Applied Sciences\, Germany) \nMargaret Buckley (University College Cork\, Ireland) \nTogether\, these two symposia demonstrate the breadth and depth of PAAR-Net’s contributions to participatory research with older adults. From advancing ethical and methodological frameworks to addressing pressing social challenges such as care\, inequality\, and sustainability\, PAAR-Net continues to foster collaborative\, impactful\, and inclusive research across Europe and beyond.
