This conference is the closing event of a series of capacity building seminars in Austria, Croatia, Slovakia and Romania that aimed at improving the capacity at local, regional and national level to develop measures supporting the transition from institutional to independent living community-based care, using EU funding instruments.
The Agency will provide an overview on the state of play from a European perspective based on its own findings from the multi-annual research project on independent living to speak about drivers and barriers to move from institutions to community living for people with disabilities.
