Digital Skills for an Ageing Europe: Strengthening memory and learning capabilities of senior people

The DISK project (Digital Skills for an Ageing Europe) aims to address these problems through the promotion of active ageing, encouraging seniors to adopt a range of good practices to preserve their health through the use of new technologies.
