6. TOPIC PRIORITY AVERAGE (1-4) 1,6 2,6 1,8 1,9

7. RESULTS o The priority score goes 1-4, being: o 1 the highest priority o 4 the lowest priority o Method: Average of all scores (1 to 4) o The four topics with the highest average (1 to 4) are: 1.(topic 1) Quality of Life, Wellbeing and Health (1,4) 2.(topic 2) Learning for later Life (1,4) 3.(topic 5) Ageing and Place (1,6) 4.(topic 8) Inclusion and Equity (1,8)

8. o The resulting ranking is weighted by the number of NO to the question “able / willing to support” (first column of the survey) o As a result, a weighted average shows this new figure (different position in the list): 1.(topic 1) Quality of Life, Wellbeing and Health (1,4 – 2 NO support) 2.(topic 5) Ageing and Place (1,6 – 5 NO support) 3.(topic 8) Inclusion and Equity (1,8 – 3 NO support) 4.(topic 2) Learning for later Life (1,4 – 8 NO support) o We do believe that is crucial to combine both criteria, the best scored and the less rejected topics o The higher number of funding agencies willing to fund a topic, the more inclusive and relevant will be our next JTC 2016 TOPIC PRIORITY
