About us
AGE Platform Europe is the largest network of older people in Europe. With more than 100 member organisations of/for older people, we work in the interest of the 200 million older adults of today… and those of tomorrow. AGE 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, research, accessibility of public transport and of the build environment, and ICT. The Platform takes also active part in several EU projects. The majority of these projects are funded by the 7th Framework Programme. The purpose of AGE's 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. AGE aims to give a voice to older and retired people in the EU policy debates through the active participation of their representative organisations at EU, national, regional and local levels so as to inform EU policy development.
