The NPO LAB: Social Impact Lounge is a project from the Roscongress Foundation’s social platform to integrate a social agenda into its major business forums.
The NPO LAB is a unique communications space bringing together non-profit organizations, business, and government to discuss current issues surrounding social development.
At the Eastern Economic Forum, the NPO LAB will be tasked with identifying priority challenges for the Russian Far East, together with effective technologies for solving them in socially significant areas: tackling demographic issues and the development of human capital, improving eco-efficiency and responsibility, implementing programmes to support an active lifestyle in old age, creating an inclusive environment, and strengthening the role of women in sustainable social development.

Active ageing
According to the Development of Healthcare state programme, life expectancy in Russia must reach 76 years by 2025. This means that conditions which promote active ageing must be created today. The healthcare system, social services, and cultural and recreational facilities must all be reorganized. The most important task, however, is to promote an active lifestyle among the elderly, changing traditional perceptions and patterns of social behaviour. In this regard, the experience of Japan and other Asian countries, where there are unique traditions surrounding longevity and the social usefulness of the elderly, would be relevant.
How can we secure a comprehensive solution to the problems of ageing and the development of culture of active ageing?
Which active ageing practices developed in other countries can be applied in Russia?
What are the tasks, activities, and initial results of pilot projects to create the right conditions for active ageing?
Which innovative technologies in geriatrics and gerontology might contribute to increasing life expectancy and ensuring a high quality of life for older people?
