The Age-Friendly AI team is looking forward to participating in the III. International Knowledge Exchange Event organised by PAAR-Net (COST Action CA22167). The event is taking place on the 9th and 10th of June 2026 at the UCC Centre for Executive Education in Cork.

This international event brings together researchers, practitioners, stakeholders, and older co-creators from across Europe to explore participatory approaches in health, care, and support systems. The programme focuses on co-creation, inclusion, and ensuring that research has meaningful, real-world impact.

Age-Friendly AI Contribution

Age-Friendly AI will hold a presentation on Day 2, June 10, between 9.15am and 11am, of the event as part of the testimonial session titled: “Impactful Research with Real World Application, Shaping Policy and Practice.”

Our session will highlight how the Age-Friendly AI initiative has been co-developed with older adults across Ireland throughout a year-long series of conversations in 2025. The initiative aims to represent older people’s voices and experiences around AI technologies.
