CDLP TO HOST CONFERENCE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE IRISH PRESIDENCY OF THE COUNCIL OF THE European Union - 3rd may 2013
This one-day conference will examine the positive potential of the EU Structural Funds in assisting Member States to achieve independent and community living for older persons and persons with disabilities. It is timely given the ongoing process of drafting new Structural Fund Regulations for the funding period of 2014-2020. It will contribute to debate at EU level regarding EU compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as well as with the rights of older persons.
It will examine the policy continuities between older people and persons with disabilities especially as regards community living. It will reflect on international best practice and identify the added value of the EU Structural Funds. Key messages will emerge as to the future use of the Funds.
