S9-1 How to stimulate active ageing? Cross-national insights to improve recruitment, participation, fall prevention and scalability

With increasing numbers of older persons in the world, new practices and programs are needed to support active aging. These new practices and programs should rely on research-based evidence, be tested in real-world settings, and also be both sustainable and scalable to the society. In this symposium we aim to share practice-to-policy-related examples from four countries, where issues related to transition to retirement, recruitment challenges, and fall prevention are covered. Cases rely on research-based knowledge, but concentrate on presenting results from practice, implementation and scaling up phases. Issues related to challenges and solutions in each case are shared and discussed.
