“…For the societal and organizational perspectives there is a chronic shortage of good practicing models which can effectively leverage the usage of the skills of seniors (Leonard et al 2009). Both regulated societal support for senior professionals as well as governmental regulations are lacking.…”

“…Current practices indicate that the European society is still slow to recognize the rationale behind, and the importance of fully supporting the extension of active professional life of seniors (Leonard et al 2009). The study on visioning and gap identification in ePAL addresses relevant technological, societal, and organizational factors which constitute the three orthogonal perspectives of ePAL communities (Leonard et al 2009).…”

“…It is required to identify new societal positions, governmental policies, and organizational structures, together with the needed technology and support systems and tools to improve the existing and emerging situations (Leonard et al 2009). It is desired that the retired/retiring elderly citizens have the possibility of remaining partially involved in the market/society, and thus have the opportunity to use their knowledge and expertise in making valued contributions to the communities where they live (Jettinghoff and Houtman 2007).…”

The ePAL initiative aimed at developing a roadmap for extension of professional active life of the retiring and retired knowledge workers in developed countries and specifically in Europe. Three main perspectives are identified in this roadmap, and defined to comprehensively address relevant dimensions of the ePAL environment. These three perspectives consist of: (1) the technological perspective that addresses the needed technology and the support services, (2) the societal perspective that addresses both the human factors and the societal aspects, and (3) the organizational perspective that addresses both the economic / managerial and governmental aspects of these environments. This document however aims to zoom in on the technological perspective of the roadmap. Following a brief description of the three main perspectives of the ePAL environment, it introduces the four main ICT research and development areas that are identified for strengthening and realization of active ageing. The technological perspective of the ePAL's vision constitutes a substantial part of the roadmap recommendations.This article further addresses the state of the art in each of these four areas and exemplifies their application needs in the ePAL environment.

Abstract. The application of the collaborative networks paradigm, and a new generation of collaboration-support platforms and tools, is a promising approach to supporting active ageing, and facilitating better use of the talents and potential of retired or retiring senior professionals. As such, collaborative networks can contribute to demographic sustainability. This paper introduces the results of a roadmapping initiative addressing the implementation of a new vision for extending professional active life. To support this vision, a strategic research plan for the development of a new digital ecosystem, covering the social, organizational, and technological perspectives, is proposed. A large number of stakeholders coming from different backgrounds contributed to the design and validation of this roadmap.

The application of the collaborative networks paradigm, combined with a new generation of collaboration-support platforms, can offer a promising approach to active ageing and better use of the talents of senior professionals. This paper introduces a roadmapping initiative focused on elaboration of a new vision for extending professional active life. To support this vision, a strategic research plan for the development of a new collaborative ecosystem, covering the social, organizational, and technological perspectives, is being designed.
