News archive - Launch of the European collaborative portal on ICT Assistive Technologies and inclusive solutions (ATIS4all)

There is a growing concern throughout Europe about the difficulties faced by the organisations involved in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Assistive Technology (AT) field.

The ATIS4all collaborative portal is the result of an EU-funded project, which aims to benefit all the key actors in the chain value of ICT ATs and accessibility products (from research centres to the end-users). It is an open and collaborative portal that offers reliable information on ICT ATs, inclusive solutions and R&D initiatives, and fosters online discussion, exchange of knowledge, expertise and sharing of information among its different portal members

ATIS4all collaborative portal is the result of a cluster between two European Thematic Networks involving 43 leading institutions from 16 European Countries: ATIS4ALL (Assistive Technologies and Inclusive Solutions for All) and ETNA (European Thematic Network on Assistive Information and Communication Technologies) TheATIS4ALL & ETNA Thematic Network projects were established in January 2011 and will conclude in December 2013.

Jointly with the work of the European Assistive Technology Information Network (EASTIN), the portal takes advantage of existing repositories and other Internet resources on ICT-AT providing their members functions to get information of ICT-based AT products as well as the possibility of commenting, and sharing knowledge through a ‘community’ by means of web 2.0 technologies.
