– A users’ requirements report, whose data will be collected thaks to a questionnaires that seniors will answer and thanks to face-to-face focus groups.
– A Silver Sharing Economy Guide tested workshops with seniors and the relative report.
– A Scientific Paper that will examine the experience of the project partners in their countries and make recommendations for policy change on the basis of that experience.
