LONGEVICITY is based on a strongly cross-disciplinary research approach, integrating skills, methodologies and tools ranging from Social Sciences, Design of Services, Artificial Intelligence and Complex Systems Science. The partnership has been structured to bring together complementary knowledge with a demonstrated track record of success. Most of the partners already collaborated in previous projects and prepared consistent joint publications. Experts covering different areas along the chain are working together to establish promising research projects and results in order to give a fruitful contribution to Active Ageing and Walkability all over the world.

The consortium that carried out the project is composed by four main partners based in Milan and Tokyo:

  • University of Milano-Bicocca

  • Politecnico of Milano

  • AUSER Lombardia (Association for an Active Ageing)

  • Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (The University of Tokyo, JAPAN)
