The workshop will explore the social exclusion of the elderly and review the quality of housing for them and the sustainability of their living environments. 

Day 2: The focus will shift to the development and competitive landscape of financial markets and services related to real estate investment and retirement planning, emphasizing prudent financial planning. Additionally, the workshop will cover fiscal policies and subsidies related to housing and retirement issues faced by people in V4 countries and beyond in the CEE region.
