ALC joins the TransisLab project, a cross-border Living Lab for social innovation in longevity in rural areas, funded by the Interreg  POCTEFA program and led by the Basque Government's Department of Welfare, Youth, and Demographic Challenge. The project brings together partners from across the Basque Country, with the aim of developing innovative solutions that improve the lives of frail older people in rural environments.

As part of this collaboration, ALC will contribute to the development of the Cross-Border Agenda for Social Innovation in Longevity, a document that will compile the challenges, opportunities, lessons learned from six pilot experiences, and recommendations for social innovation policies, illustrated through use cases and best practices. The final version of this agenda is expected in the summer of 2026.

The TransisLab project addresses critical challenges in the POCTEFA regions, such as net population loss, the aging of the rural population, the dispersion of local services (health, social, and community), and poorly developed strategies for preventing fragility. Through its six pilot projects, TransisLab seeks to connect local social and healthcare resources to improve the quality of life of 400 fragile older people in the Basque Country, Navarre, New Aquitaine, and Occitanie.
