What is PEOPLE? PEOPLE is a European mini-programme led by the Junta of Andalucia co-funded under the Interregional Cooperation programme INTERREG IVC. This is a €4m programme involving 7 European regions: Andalucia (Spain), South East England (UK), Venezia (Italy), Noord-Brabant (Netherlands), Malopolska (Poland), Stockholm (Sweden) and Timis (Romania).
The aim of PEOPLE is to explore the opportunities for new forms of employment and for improving well-being and cohesion in the frame of the demographic and societal changes. This way, PEOPLE will contribute to reinforce the cohesion and social welfare in the participating regions and find solutions to address some of the consequences of the economic down turn.
The PEOPLE POLICY NETWORK is a platform of discussion to exchange best practice on Societal changes between EU regions. We invite you to register to the groups below and take part in the discussions.

E-Health must become profitable: a sound businesscase is best advocate for e-health and telecare
Working with the Pantein care organisation proved that the best stimulus for an uptake of health care technology is health care economics.With the introduction of Diagnose Treatment Combinations in hospital care there is a fixed price for a complete intervention from diagnose, to intervention, treatment and aftercare. So suddenly it is profitable for the hospital to send people home as early as possible, but without the risk of complications, because there is no extra money in case of…See More

It offers great opportunities to improve the quality of live of many different kinds op people, making use of theories deriving from social psychology. For example by making a game of daily boring activities such…See More

Supporting innovative initiatives in the public domain is a good way to speed up developments. The question is, now governments are cutting spendings in many fields, how to keep on supporting these initiatives.
