On June 13th, CREATE PIs held a workshop titled “CREATE Meets Digital Aging Researchers from German-Speaking Countries” in Germany. This event was arranged by CREATE’s international research partner, Dr. Hans-Werner Wahl, from Heidelberg University. After the initial greeting and introduction, Dr. Czaja provided an overview of CREATE and shared the research from Project 1 (Virtual Reality). Dr. Boot provided updates on Project 2 (SPARC: Supporting Personal Activities and Reinforcing Cognition) and Dr. Charness shared progress on Project 3 (Decision Making Support). Dr. Rogers followed with an overview of CREATE dissemination and engagement activities. Each session included 15 minutes of discussion.
The workshop provided a wonderful opportunity to share research findings, methods, tools, and other practical tips with international researchers.
