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.
