Policy Lab: How does the future of aging look?

Join us at our Policy Lab – we’re hosting with our partners Mandag Morgen and Danish Life Science Cluster. The Policy Lab consists of three heats of debate sessions zooming in on some of the themes and dilemmas we worked with in creating alternative futures for aging and care. With an offset in our provoking future fragments, we dive into discussions on:

• Concerns and challenges of the current generations when imagining our future senior life
• The future for our welfare and healthcare system in Denmark as more people live longer with diagnoses and expenses are on the rise
• How welfare technology can be part of the solution in creating a balance between human and digital solutions to our current challenges

Time: June 18, 2.30 PM

Debate: Adding aesthetics to our green future

The European Commission’s initiative New European Bauhaus (NEB) calls for the green transition to be sustainable, inclusive, and aesthetic – not only hardcore energy-optimizing.
Based on NEB and the Danish-led DESIRE bid for an NEB Lighthouse Demonstrator – “Designing the irresistible circular society,” we debate how closer collaboration between art, design and green business will unfold. And what must politicians do for us to succeed?

• Magnus Vestergaard, SFU
• Christian Bason, DDC (moderator)
• MEP Morten Løkkegaard, (V – Renew)
• Madeleine Kate McGowan, Nxt
• Karin Thuesen Pedersen, COWI
