Regional networks

About the regional networks

The REVES researchers participate in regional programs aiming at promoting research on health expectancies in their regions. Asia-REVES or Euro-REVES have allowed reflections on the way to improve comparisons of health expectancies in geographically and culturally close countries.

The Healthy Life Years indicator (also called disability-free life expectancy) is now in the core set of the European Structural Indicators, following the Resolutions of the Lisbon European Council (20 to 23 March 2000). In this framework, the European Community is funding research programs led by European REVES members: Euro-REVES projects (1993-1996 and 1997-2002), the European Health Expectancy Monitoring Unit (Ehemu, 2004-2007) and the European Health and Life expectancy Information system (EHLEIS, 2007-2010).
