AAL Europe asks for your input for the elaboration of these topics through an open consultation.The main objective of AAL is to improve the quality of life of elderly people and enable them to live their lives independently and in their own homes, even as they increasingly suffer physical or mental problems. Secondly, the programme will support the European economic and industrial base. Solutions will be based on the needs and wishes of elderly people and their informal carers/families. They must be involved at all stages of the programme.

Based on a positive evaluation of the WBSO scheme over the period 2006-2010, the Cabinet in the Netherland plans the following adjustments to the WBSO for 2013:
- The WBSO limit (the total amount of R&D cost per organization) is set at € 12 million. This is considerably more than € 8.5 million announced on Budget Day last year.
- The first bracket - the first € 110,000 of R&D wages - will be extended to at least € 150,000
- The WBSO rate remains at 42% because the evaluation shows that the effectiveness of higher rates is limited
- The total budget of the WBSO is € 723 million while last year € 715 million has been assumed.
For more information about the WBSO please contact Bas Schokker. read more >> 02/04/2012 Source: European Commission

Video on Demand & Digital Cinema Distribution
Digital technologies have made European audiovisual works more easily accessible outside their country of origin thanks to new ways of transporting audiovisual content. The competitiveness of the audiovisual content industry in Europe will strongly depend on the use of these new technologies in the distribution stage.
The main objective of this scheme is to support the creation and exploitation of catalogues of European works to be distributed digitally across borders to a wider audience and/or to cinema exhibitors through advanced distribution services, integrating where necessary digital security systems in order to protect online content. It encourages the European audiovisual industry to adapt to new developments in digital technology.
