This e-book is the main output of a knowledge sharing process organized by the Joint Programming Initiative “More Years Better Lives – The Potential and Challenges of Demographic Change” (JPI-MYBL). Launched in 2009, JPI-MYBL brought together several EU and non- EU countries to create a common research framework aiming to better coordinate, harmonize, and synchronize the research programmes of the participating countries on the topic of demographic change. The ultimate goal of JPI-MYBL is to better understand the complex effects of demographic change1 and to produce evidence on the relationship between demographic change, equality, and wellbeing. It adopts a transnational and interdisciplinary approach to find innovative solutions that make “societal ageing” a resource and not a burden. It also involves different actors including researchers, policymakers and stakeholders. In 2022, JPI-MYBL launched a knowledge-sharing process on isolation and loneliness among older people during the COVID-19 pandemic. The process consisted of four connected online workshops, scheduled in a specific time window (about six months), and attended by three groups of actors: stakeholders, researchers, and policy representatives who were invited to respond to a common “red line document” posted on the JPIMYBL website. 2 A synthesis of this document is included in the Introduction of this e-book. Participants in the four knowledge-sharing workshops were later invited to prepare a short article based on their presentations. Their contributions are presented in this e-book, along with additional articles on the topics of isolation and loneliness among older people.
