Interaction

The interaction work package supports the work of all work packages and promotes stakeholder cooperation, co-development and communication in the project. The interaction supports the societal impact.

Stakeholders

Co-creation is a key element of the SustAgeable project. We will have discussions with our stakeholders on this issue throughout the project. Our goal is to work together to create new perspectives and knowledge about well-being and sustainability. Cooperation and co-development with our partners are therefore highly important in terms of achieving the project’s goals.
