One of the action points included in the plan was to "ensure the establishment and networking of national centers of excellence in design-for-all and create recommendations for a European curriculum for designers and engineers". ITA is one of those centers in the network. The goal of this action is to raise the profile of Design for All and emphasize its importance in achieving greater e-Accessibility. This European Network has been primarily created to provide:
- input for European Curricula in Design for All
- a forum for Design for All issues
- idea sharing through joint activities such as conferences, symposia and exchanges of students and scholars.
The network is also charged with fostering awareness and promoting changes of culture in the public and private sectors.

Through a series of common activities and proposals, it is hoped that the network will become a cohesive group that can effectively work toward the advancement and excellence of Design for All. » weiterlesen» einklappen
