Progressive was funded as part of the Horizon 2020 European research and innovation programme and was anchored in Call 2020-SC1-2016-2017 Personalised Medicine and the topic SC1-HCO-16-2016 Standardisation needs in the field of ICT for Active and Healthy Ageing. The European consortium was made up of ten partners from six countries. The aim of the project was to increase the involvement of older people in standardization processes in order to reliably and permanently improve the quality and effectiveness of standards for these areas of life. Detailed information on the project and all public results of the project are published on the online platform https://progressivestandards.org/.

Furthermore, the website contains a database with standards and specifications relevant for older people. The following documents were developed within the framework of Progressive:

Ethical Framework for standards in the field of ICT for Active and Healthy Ageing
Guidelines for User co-production in standards
Guidelines for standards around ICT for AHA for age-friendly smart homes
