FutuRes: Towards a Resilient Future of Europe

欧洲社会老龄化的动态和潜在的危机情景构成了这个项目的两个关键基石。首先，老年方面的社会不平等在很大程度上是年轻时和整个生命周期中所做的选择和事件的结果，也是关于老年人、老龄化和老年的陈规定型的假设、期望和信念的结果。因此，衰老必须从生命历程的角度来看待。其次，考虑到固有的不确定性，新政策——以及对旧政策的修订——应该增强韧性。它们应该使公民和服务提供商能够应对和适应下一次的冲击。对复原力的关注意味着政策必须考虑到前瞻性规划、适应性、灵活性，并在可能的情况下进行预防，而不是针对人口老龄化相关挑战的事后解决方案。但它们也必须考虑到个人通过家庭、社会网络、环境、社区、民族国家以及超国家实体（如欧盟）联系在一起的方式。FutuRes的一个重要目标是建立一个跨学科政策实验室，这是一个让来自研究、政治、商业和民间社会的决策者参与项目的平台，并密切合作，根据项目结果制定基于证据的解决方案。该项目将对实际实施拟议的政策具有直接的实际价值，但也将确保一个持久的遗产。这也将通过期货的开放科学实践来实现，其中包括例如期货政策审查及其产生的数据库，参与者之间以及与非科学受众的合作生产努力

The dynamics of the ageing of European societies and potential crisis scenarios make up the two critical cornerstones for this project. First, social inequalities in old age are very much a function of choices and events made at a younger age and across the life-span, as well as of stereotypical assumptions, expectations and beliefs about the elderly, ageing and old age. Hence ageing must be viewed in terms of a life course approach. Secondly, given inherent uncertainties, new policies – and revisions of old ones – ought to be resilience enhancing. They should enable both citizens and service providers to cope and adapt to whatever the next shock will be. A focus on resilience means that policies must be thought of in terms of proactive planning, adaptability, flexibility and where possible, prevention, rather than post hoc solutions to challenges related to the ageing of the population. But they must also factor in the way that individuals are linked through families, social networks, environment, communities, nation states and also supra-national entities, such as the European Union (EU). An important ambition of FutuRes is to establish a transdisciplinary policy lab, a platform where decision-makers from research, politics, business and civil society engage with the project and work closely together to elaborate evidence-informed solutions based on project results. The project will have direct practical value for the actual implementation of proposed policies, but will also ensure an enduring legacy. This will be achieved also by FutuRes open science practices which includes for instance the FutuRes policy review and its resulting data base, co-production efforts among participants and with non-scientific audiences
