20-jähriges Jubiläum der LINGA

Rethinking Aging and Driving Social Innovation

For 20 years, the Lower Saxony Initiative for Intergenerational Everyday Life (LINGA) has been building thematic bridges and driving social innovations for the older generation with a focus on Universal Design and digitalization – a reason for us to look back and think ahead. We cordially invite you to celebrate with us and discover new topics and trends. As a state initiative, we promote "Social Innovations for Generations in Everyday Life" and raise awareness for a sustainable demographic strategy as a cross-departmental, interdisciplinary ongoing task. LINGA is funded by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Social Affairs, Labour, Health and Equality and also cooperates in various projects and events with the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economic Affairs, Transport and Construction. The cross-departmental work of the state initiative is also optimized by Niedersachsen.next GmbH as the project sponsor, bringing LINGA closer to the state's strategic planning and innovation policy. The transfer of knowledge and innovative solutions through cross-sectoral cooperation is one of LINGA's strengths! At an anniversary event, we want to offer our network and project partners as well as political and municipal representatives an opportunity to learn more about us and to network. We wish that this is also reflected in a short impulse from Minister Dr. Andreas Philippi and through participation in the panel discussion with politicians and State Secretary Matthias Wunderling-Weilbier.

"Innovations should start from the everyday lives of older people and address specific needs and challenges. Regional innovation policy can specifically support the transfer of research and development into practice and thus help to ensure that innovative solutions actually reach people and create tangible added value in everyday life."
