GrowMeUp GrowMeUp

Coordinator: UNIVERSIDADE DE COIMBRA (PT)

GrowMeUp’s main aim is to increase the years of independent and active living, and the quality of life of older persons (age of 65+) with light physical or mental health problems who live alone at home and can find pleasure and relief in getting support or stimulation to carry out their daily activities over the ageing process.

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €2.8M toward a total project budget of €3.4M — a funding rate of 82%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2015-02-01 to 2018-01-31.
