The objective of Working Group 4 of the COST Action NET4Age-Friendly is to examine existing policies, advocacy, and funding opportunities and to build up relations with policy makers and funding organisations. Also, to synthesize and improve existing knowledge and models to develop from effective business and evaluation models, as well as to guarantee quality and education, proper dissemination and ensure the future of the Action. The Working Group further aims to enable capacity building to improve interdisciplinary participation, to promote knowledge (...) exchange and to foster a cross-European interdisciplinary research capacity, to improve cooperation and co-creation with cross-sectors stakeholders and to introduce and educate students SHAFE implementation and sustainability. To enable the achievement of the objectives of Working Group 4, the Leader of the Working Group, the Chair and Vice-Chair, in close cooperation with the Science Communication Coordinator, developed a template to map the current state of SHAFE policies, funding opportunities and networking in the COST member countries of the Action. On invitation, the Working Group lead received contributions from 37 countries, in a total of 85 Action members. The contributions provide an overview of the diversity of SHAFE policies and opportunities in Europe and beyond. These were not edited or revised and are a result of the main areas of expertise and knowledge of the contributors; thus, gaps in areas or content are possible and these shall be further explored in the following works and reports of this WG. But this preliminary mapping is of huge importance to proceed with the WG activities. In the following chapters, an introduction on the need of SHAFE policies is presented, followed by a summary of the main approaches to be pursued for the next period of work. The deliverable finishes with the opportunities of capacity building, networking and funding that will be relevant to undertake within the frame of Working Group 4 and the total COST Action. The total of country contributions is presented in the annex of this deliverable. (shrink)

Diltheys Denken wird seit der zweiten H?lfte des 20. Jahrhunderts aus einer hermeneutischen, durch Gadamer bestimmten Perspektive beurteilt. Dilthey am Ma?stab der Hermeneutik zu messen bedeutet aber, seine grundlegend handlungstheoretische Einstellung auszublenden. Denn die?innere Erfahrung?, auf die bei der erkenntnistheoretischen Grundlegung der Geisteswissenschaften zur?ckgegangen wird, hat die Struktur von Handlung. Sie wird von Dilthey als?Zweckzusammenhang? bzw. auf einen Zweck gerichteter Funktionszusammenhang beschrieben, schlie?lich geht es dem Menschen schon auf der biologischen Ebene darum, triebhaft gesteuerte Bed?rfnisse durch entsprechende Handlungen zu befriedigen. (...) Das Erlebnis des zweckgerichteten psychischen Zusammenhangs gibt uns das Muster f?r das Verst?ndnis der Welt vor.?Verstehen? wird dem entsprechend von Dilthey als?Nacherleben? konzipiert. Naturalismus und Hermeneutik werden in diesem Konzept einander angen?hert. nema. (shrink)
