Reassembling care for older people (RECOPE)

RECOPE network examines the impact of digital technologies on elderly care and good care practices. The network, consisting of researchers from five Nordic countries, aims to prepare a successful, large-scale EU research application. To reach this aim, three workshops are organized in different Nordic countries to bring together senior and early-career researchers and non-academic stakeholders.
Robotti pystyy moneen, mutta inhimillisissä kohtaamisessa ihminen on korvaamaton. Lähitulevaisuudessa robotiikan hyödyntäminen arkipäiväistyy monella alalla.

Project description

RECOPE establishes a network between five Nordic researchers who share an interest in the impact of digital technologies on the understanding of good care. The main objective of RECOPE is to prepare a successful, large-scale EU research application. To reach this aim, three three-day workshops in different Nordic countries will bring together senior and early-career researchers and stakeholders from the five Nordic countries.

The first workshop, “Critical analyses and discussion on digitalization and robot technology in care for old persons”, focused on automatization and robotization of care. It was organized by Aarhus University in Denmark in May 2023.

The second workshop, “Critical analyses and discussion on digitalization technology in care for old persons” centered around care relations and interactions, and was organized by the University of Iceland in September 2023.

The third workshop, “Critical analyses and debates on the technologisation of care in homes of older persons” concentrates on care technologies used in home care. This workshop will be organised by the Ģֱ in May 2024.

Our Call for Abstracts for the third workshop is open until March 22nd 2024.
