The AccessCat Network and its members organise and participate in different types of activities and actions.
Some activities are addressed to the public—such as awareness-raising activities, demonstrations, showcases, and some training activities—and some actions are carried out within the research groups—such as international missions or standardisation activities.
Activities organised by researchers in the network in order to spread their knowledge on accessibility to society. The goal is to raise awareness on how important it is for everyone to have access to communication and information, as well as to offer innovative solutions.
Activities abroad through which researchers in the network acquire new abilities and knowledge that will help them transfer their specific research to society.
Researchers in the network participate in drafting regulations, standards, or high-level documents in European and international bodies (ISO, UNE, ITU, CEN, EBU…) to ensure accessibility is taken into account in public policies.
Capsules or training sessions on accessibility to information and communication geared towards companies, institutions, and entities. There is also training for researchers in the network on how to evaluate and transfer research results.
Contest addressed to researchers in the network to fund and support innovative proposals that find solutions to issues related to accessibility to communication and information.
Activities held by researchers in the network at fairs, congresses and conferences to show the technologies and services created by the research groups.
Barcelona
Practical training to learn how to present research at trade fairs and networking sessions. It will explore what needs to be taken into account before, during and after events. Training aimed at researchers from the AgriTech, Xarfa, Xartec Salut, AccessCat and RDI-IA networks.
Online
Practical training aimed at researchers from the AccessCat, H2Cat, Xarfa, Agritech, RDI-IA, XRE4S and XWXIN networks on the use of generative artificial intelligence tools applied to knowledge and technology transfer.
Brussels, Belgium
The European Commission is organising the workshop 'Towards a competence framework for knowledge valorisation intermediaries', a session aimed at discussing best practices, sharing challenges and highlighting opportunities related to professionals and agents who help researchers disseminate the results of their research to society.
Virtual
For this year’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), the GRIHO group (UdL) is organising an online conference to learn about people, design, web development, evaluation and artificial intelligence in the field of digital accessibility.
Madrid, Spain
Researchers Cecili Garriga and Teresa Cantillo, from the Neolcyt research group (UAB), are taking part in the meeting to prepare the convention dedicated to clear communication organised by the Panhispanic Network for Clear Language, hosted by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE). At this third meeting, they presented several projects related to clear communication and technology, such as AI.
