[06/09/2010]Registration 1st AEGIS International Conference now open Registration 1st AEGIS International Conference now open

The 2nd Pan-European Workshop/User Forum and the 1st International AEGIS Conference entitled "Access for All in the desktop, web and mobile field: an end-user and developer perspective" will take place in Seville, Spain on 6 and 7-8 October 2010 respectively. All events are organised by the AGIS IP initiative (Open Accessibility Everywhere: Groundwork, Infrastructure, Standards - www.aegis-project.eu), partially funded under FP7 (Theme: ICT-2007.7.1; ICT & Ageing).

The Workshop/User Forum aims to bring together end-users and experts in the field of assistive technologies, from both the OSS community as well as the proprietary one, that focus on the accessibility of desktop, web and mobile applications. During the workshop the project will present the tools developed so far, and will stimulate discussions between both end-users and application developers vis-à-vis the project’s outcomes so far. The outcomes will be taken into account by the Consortium during the further course of the project. Participation to the workshop will be free of charge.

The conference itself will address following topics:
- Accessible desktop applications (AT, developer tools and accessible applications)
- Accessible mobile applications (AT, developer tools and accessible applications)
- Accessible Rich Internet Applications (AT, developer tools and accessible applications)
- Accessibility and Standardisation (ISO, eInclusion, Policies, Legislation)
- Accessibility research

Among the many speakers, renowned ones such as Dr. Carlos Velasco, Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology; Peter Korn, Oracle; Gregg Vanderheiden, University of Wisconsin-Madison; and Dominique Hazaël-Massieux from W3C Mobile Web Initiative will shed new light on the aforementioned topics, highlighting the current situation, but also focusing on the future.

Registration for the 1st International AEGIS Conference is possible via www.aegis-conference.eu.


[29/07/2010]Study on economic assessment for improving eAccessibility services and products. Be part of it!

The Unit "ICT for Inclusion", within Directorate General Information Society and Media of the European Commission, has launched a study in December last year on the Economic Assessment for Improving e-Accessibility Services and Products. The study aims at: identifying key issues for improving accessibility of mainstream ICT, with a special focus on web accessibility; developing and applying a methodological approach for estimating the costs and benefits of improving accessibility of mainstream ICT; and proposing recommendations for improving accessibility of mainstream ICT. The study is conducted by a consortium led by Technosite.

If your web site is accessible, you are thinking on making it accessible or your organisation provides services related to the web accessibility, your contribution by filling a questionnaire would greatly contribute to the results of this study; the questions contained in this questionnaire refer to the characteristics of your corporate website, to your organisation, and to the costs and benefits regarding web accessibility.

Please send an e-mail to questionnairehelpdesk@technosite.es with your contact details in order to receive the questionnaire. The project partners would also like to acknowledge your contribution to the Study by including your name and/or company in the “Support Organisations” section of its website:http://www.eaccessibility-impacts.eu/.
