EIP Active Healthy Ageing

The EU EYE has been officially accepted in the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP-AHA) of the European Commission. This is a recognition of the efforts and the added value that the EU EYE brings to this collaborative network in creating a forum for integration of research priorities, policies and strategies in eye health. The EU EYE will explore potential synergy actions with members of EIP AHA who have similar interests and activities.

The European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing EIP-AHA brings together key stakeholders in public health from universities, research groups, public authorities, health care providers, industry and non-governmental organizations representing citizens and patients.
