Learning from
long-term care practices
for the European Care Strategy
Investigating locally meaningful practices to reshape long-term care policies and practices in the European Union.
Launched on April 1, 2024, LeTs-Care – Learning from long-term care practices for the European Care Strategy – is funded under the “Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society” area of the Horizon Europe Programme.
Across Europe, millions of older people, their families and care workers navigate systems that are struggling to keep pace with demographic and social change. The stakes, in terms of quality of life, equity and sustainability, could not be higher. LeTs-Care brings together researchers from seven countries to learn from real care practices and translate that knowledge into concrete guidance for policies that actually serve people.
The project is led by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy, with seven participating partners from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain, and The Netherlands.
