GÉROND'IF, gérontopôle d'Île-de-France

What GÉROND'IF, gérontopôle d'Île-de-France does

GÉROND'IF is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 2016 that operates as the officially designated gerontology hub (gérontopôle) for the Île-de-France region, headquartered in Paris at 33 rue du Fer à Moulin. The organization federates a multi-stakeholder ecosystem—healthcare facilities, local authorities, researchers, silver economy companies, and senior citizens—to coordinate research, innovation evaluation, training, and prevention programs addressing demographic transition and aging. Its work spans clinical research studies (SOFIA, ARNOLD, RAVI, TELEDIET, DOMIROB, ROSIE, Pré40s, DEPART cohort), public prevention campaigns (Solid'Âge, Sevr'Âge), regional deployment programs (ASSURE targeting all 705 EHPADs covering 63,000 residents, ICOPE), and annual Scientific Days hosted at the Ministry of Health.

The organization's core technological asset is the Living Lab Mobile, a mobile collaborative platform inspired by The Hague model that physically travels to EHPADs and healthcare facilities across Île-de-France to test and scientifically evaluate gerontechnologies in natural environments. The Living Lab houses 50 gerontechnologies across seven families: fall prevention devices, social robots, exoskeletons, social connection solutions, virtual reality systems, connected health devices, and cognitive stimulation tools. Secondary digital products include the ICOPE Monitor mobile application for self-monitoring of six essential capacities in seniors.

GÉROND'IF operates a diversified non-profit revenue model combining annual membership dues (ranging from €100 for healthcare establishments to €1,750 for institutions and federations, with intermediate tiers for local authorities, EHPAD groups, and silver economy companies), individual and corporate donations eligible for French tax deductions (66% for individuals per Article 200-1 CGI; 60% for corporations per Article 238 bis CGI), and government grants—most notably serving as bearer of the DIM Longévité & Vieillissement funded by the Conseil Régional d'Île-de-France, which provides scientific equipment subsidies of up to 66% for aging research projects. Its primary customer segments are EHPADs and healthcare facilities, healthcare professionals, senior citizens and caregivers, silver economy companies, and local authorities across the Île-de-France region's 8 departments.

Others

• Silver Valley (cluster): French silver-economy cluster partnering with GÉROND'IF on the Prix de l'Innovation. Useful adjacency: both federate silver-economy actors and validate innovations, but Silver Valley is a private cluster rather than a care coordinator.
• Fondation Médéric Alzheimer: Foundation supporting research, innovation and societal debate on aging and dementia. Shares GÉROND'IF's research/training/innovation triad but is a national philanthropic actor rather than a regional coordinator.

• Gérontopôle Autonomie Longévité Pays de la Loire (GAL): Regional gerontology coordination entity in Pays de la Loire running Living Lab-style aging research and innovation programs. Structurally identical to GÉROND'IF in mission and operating model.
• Gérontopôle Aime (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes): Regional gerontology hub for Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes coordinating research, training and innovation for healthy aging. Operates the same federative model as GÉROND'IF and is a member of the Union des Gérontopôles de France.

Regional players

• Centre d'excellence sur le vieillissement de Québec (CEVQ): Canadian research centre coordinating aging research, innovation and care in Quebec. Comparable in combining research, training and innovation evaluation under a regional hub model, though geographically distinct.
