AGE Platform Europe

AGE Platform Europe is the largest EU-funded network of organisations of and for older persons in Europe. Join us and help us fight age discrimination!

The contents of this page are AGE sole responsibility. The purpose of AGE work is to voice and promote the interests of the 150 million inhabitants aged 50+ in the European Union and to raise awareness of the issues that concern them most. It seeks to give a voice to older and retired people in the EU policy debates, through the active participation of their representative organisations at EU, nat

ional, regional and local levels, and provides a European platform for the exchange of experience and best practices. Its work focuses on a wide range of policy areas that impact on older and retired people. These include issues of anti-discrimination, employment of older workers and active ageing, social protection, pension reforms, social inclusion, health, elder abuse, intergenerational solidarity, research, accessibility of public transport and of the build environment, and new technologies (ICT). The Platform takes also active part in several EU projects.
