Joint Programming is a strategic concept in order to manage transnational challenges, such as demographic change, more efficiently. JPI MYBL promotes a better coordination and cooperation between European and national research programmes in the field of demographic change. The support project J-AGE II operationalises the ambitions of JPI MYBL by announcing and realising research notices (call office) as well as by active cooperation with other European initiatives (alignment) and thereby assists in the implementation of the strategic research agenda of JPI MYBL.
VDI/VDE-IT functions as the point of contact for JPI MYBL (in conjunction with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, BMBF, as national contact point) and J-AGE II – in case of the latter we mainly work as operator of the call office 2015 of JPI MYBL, carry out contextual and organisational support of the subject alignment and monitor the research programmes and policies.
