The Academic Workshop on Eldercare Zeeland is a structural partnership between twelve parties.
The parties from practice, policy, research and education work together on the following themes: Staying Healthy, Care at Home, Care Technology and Labor and Education. The parties tackle research projects together and insights are directly put into practice .
The AWOZ has an organizational structure consisting of a steering committee, a coordinator and a coordinating core group with representatives (anchors) from policy, research and practice (multi-sectoral approach). Elders actively participate and serve on both the steering committee and the core group, and on project teams where appropriate.
