The City of Ljubljana has signed the Grant Agreement for the SEED Project – Supporting the Recognition of the Silver Economy in Europe in the Digital Era.

The Empirica Institute in Germany is the project carrier and the City of Ljubljana is cooperating in the project with seven other partners. The two-year project has been launched on 1 October 2016. The aim of the project is to find innovative solutions for the employment of the elderly and to create a European award for initiatives in the field of the so called silver economy.
The Department for Health and Social Security of the City of Ljubljana was invited to participate in the project as an evaluator and was chosen because of its long experience and good practises with regard to activities for the elderly.
