The young researchers` and PhD. workshop which is taking place in course of the AAL Forum 2012 for the fourth time, is giving junior researchers who work in the field of AAL the chance to present and discuss their work interdisciplinary. The workshop will be assisted by experts from the area. This year we have once again invited creative and dedicated young researchers from various disciplines (geriatrics, engineering, architecture, informatics, psychology, sociology, nursing sciences, economics, etc.) who investigate technical solutions for the elderly. During the full-day workshop ahead of the Forum the three best ideas will be selected and the winners will be rewarded with the chance to present their work in front of a bigger audience during the Forum. The workshop includes 4 different tracks such as “Virtual Reality and Telemedicine”, “Social Computing”,  “Assistive Technologies for the Elderly” and “Communication Technologies “ which will be introduced shortly by the chairing experts, followed by  the three winners who get to present their work and ideas.
